Self-Regulatory Organizations; Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change Relating to Mandatory Participation in Business
Continuity and Disaster Recovery Testing Under Regulation SCI

November 5, 2015.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on October 30, 2015, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(``FINRA'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC''
or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been prepared by FINRA. FINRA has designated
the proposed rule change as constituting a ``non-controversial'' rule
change under paragraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 under the Act,\3\ which
renders the proposal effective upon receipt of this filing by the
Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

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

    FINRA is proposing to adopt FINRA Rule 4380 related to mandatory
participation in business continuity and disaster recovery (``BC/DR'')
testing under Regulation Systems Compliance and Integrity (``Regulation
SCI'').
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on FINRA's Web
site at http://www.finra.org, at the principal office of FINRA and at
the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, FINRA 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. FINRA 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
    Regulation SCI was adopted by the Commission on November 19, 2014,
with the objective of strengthening the technology infrastructure of
the U.S. securities markets.\4\ The regulation applies to ``SCI
entities,'' which includes FINRA, the national securities exchanges and
equity alternative trading systems (``ATSs'') that meet specified
volume thresholds.\5\ One topic of several Regulation SCI rule
requirements is BC/DR testing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 73639 (November 19,
2014), 79 FR 72252, 72254 (December 5, 2014) (``SCI Adopting
Release'').
    \5\ Rule 1000 of SEC Regulation SCI.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 1004 of SEC Regulation SCI requires FINRA, as an SCI entity,
to do the following with respect to its BC/DR plan: (1) Establish
standards to designate the members that FINRA reasonably determines
are, taken as a whole, the minimum necessary for the maintenance of
fair and orderly markets in the event of the activation of its BC/DR
plan; (2) designate members pursuant to its established standards and
require them to participate in scheduled functional and performance
testing of the operation of FINRA's BC/DR plan, in the manner and
frequency specified by FINRA, provided the frequency is no less than
once every 12 months; and (3) coordinate the testing of FINRA's BC/DR
plan on an industry- or sector-wide basis with other SCI entities.
    Consistent with Regulation SCI, FINRA proposes to adopt Rule 4380
to establish authority to designate members for mandatory participation
in its BC/DR testing. As noted in proposed Rule 4380(a), FINRA will
designate members according to established criteria that are designed
to ensure participation by those members that FINRA reasonably
determines are, taken as a whole, the minimum necessary for the
maintenance of fair and orderly markets in the event of the activation
of its BC/DR plan. As further noted in proposed Rule 4380(a), FINRA's
criteria will consider volume of activity on a FINRA market system over
a specified period of time.\6\ FINRA will communicate to members its
criteria for designation under this Rule, and any

changes to such criteria, on a prospective basis \7\ by Regulatory
Notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Volume-based criteria may contemplate quoting, trading, or
reportable order events, depending on the type of activity conducted
on a FINRA system.
    \7\ For example, should FINRA change its volume-based criteria,
or the specified period of time over which such volume is measured
(i.e., the look-back period), it would not apply any of those
changes retroactively. Instead, it would only apply such changes,
after notice, to the next testing cycle with a full look-back
period.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Proposed Rule 4380(b) would reiterate several important points from
Regulation SCI with respect to BC/DR plan testing. Specifically, the
rule would note that Regulation SCI requires BC/DR testing to include
functional and performance testing, rather than simple connectivity
testing, and that such testing must occur at least once per 12
months.\8\ Proposed Rule 4380(b) would further state that FINRA will
notify members that are designated to participate in the BC/DR test at
least 90 days prior to the scheduled testing date.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See SCI Adopting Release, 79 FR at 72351-52.
    \9\ FINRA believes, based on preliminary discussions among SCI
entities that the yearly testing contemplated by this proposal would
likely take the place of the current industry test facilitated by
the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association
(``SIFMA'') each October. This would be consistent with Commission
guidance--Regulation SCI recognized that the existing SIFMA test
could provide a foundation for the regulation's mandatory testing
requirements. See SCI Adopting Release, 79 FR at 72349.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, proposed Rule 4380(c) would state the obligations of
member firms that are designated for mandatory participation in BC/DR
testing. As noted in the rule, designated members would be required to
fulfill, within the time frames established by FINRA, certain testing
requirements that FINRA determines are necessary and appropriate. These
requirements could include, for example, bringing up their systems on
the designated testing day and processing test scripts to simulate
trading activity. Designated members may also be required to satisfy
related reporting requirements, for example, reporting the member's
testing results, so that FINRA may evaluate the efficacy of the test
and, correspondingly, its BC/DR plan.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ FINRA anticipates that compliance with this proposal would
be enforced consistent with existing FINRA rules and practice, and
that a designated firm's failure to participate in mandatory testing
could result in possible sanctions, including fines, under FINRA
Rule 8310.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FINRA recognizes that there may be additional market participants
that wish to participate on a voluntary basis in FINRA's annual BC/DR
test, beyond those that are designated under Rule 4380. For example,
certain system participants may wish to test their backup capabilities
even if they do not exceed the system's threshold cutoff. Additionally,
third party service providers, like service bureaus that transmit
information to FINRA systems on behalf of FINRA members, may also wish
to ensure their ability to function in FINRA's backup environment, even
though the service providers are not themselves FINRA members subject
to Rule 4380. FINRA will encourage any such market participant to
consider voluntary participation in FINRA's BC/DR test, consistent with
Commission guidance.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See SCI Adopting Release, 79 FR at 72351 n.1170
(encouraging SCI entities to permit voluntary participation).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FINRA has filed the proposed rule change for immediate
effectiveness. FINRA will announce its criteria for designated members
for mandatory test participation in a Regulatory Notice by November 3,
2015, the general compliance date for Regulation SCI. FINRA anticipates
that the first BC/DR test that will include designated members'
mandatory participation will occur in October, 2016.
2. Statutory Basis
    FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,\12\ which requires that
FINRA rules must be designed to, among other things, foster cooperation
and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing,
settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitating
transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    FINRA believes that the proposal, which would authorize FINRA to
compel participation by certain designated members in FINRA's BC/DR
testing, is consistent with these provisions of the Act for the reasons
articulated by the Commission when it adopted Regulation SCI. As the
Commission stated, ``unless there is effective participation by certain
of its members or participants in the testing of [BC/DR] plans, the
objective of ensuring resilient and available markets in general, and
the maintenance of fair and orderly markets in particular, would not be
achieved.'' \13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ SCI Adopting Release, 79 FR at 72351 (internal citations
omitted).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    FINRA does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in
any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposal is intended to
carry out the requirements imposed by Regulation SCI with respect to
FINRA's BC/DR testing. When the Commission adopted the mandatory backup
testing requirements of Regulation SCI, the Commission recognized that
the requirements could have some cost impact on designated firms. It
concluded, however, that such costs were justified by the need for SCI
entities to prepare for the possibility of wide-scale disruptions in
the securities markets.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See SCI Adopting Release, 79 FR at 72348-49. The Commission
explained that the designation of larger firms may result in minimal
or relatively modest administrative costs because such firms are
likely to already have established connectivity to backup sites and
to monitor and maintain such connectivity. See id., 79 FR at 72341.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FINRA recognizes that the criteria it announces in its Regulatory
Notice may impose costs, particularly on those members designated
pursuant to the established criteria. However, the Commission noted its
belief that the costs of this requirement could be mitigated by the
fact that designated members are likely to be larger firms with greater
resources.\15\ Consistent with the Commission's guidance, FINRA expects
that its criteria will mitigate costs by designating larger firms that
have greater resources, and likely have experience with the current
SIFMA-facilitated industry test, and therefore are more likely to have
existing connections to FINRA's backup systems. Moreover, other firms
who may anticipate some competitive advantage to participating in the
SCI testing are not precluded from doing so by this rule, further
mitigating any competitive effects of the rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See SCI Adopting Release, 79 FR at 72351.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \16\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\17\
Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to
30 days from the date on which

it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, if
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest,
the proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder. A proposed
rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \18\ normally does not become
operative prior to 30 days after the date of the filing. However,
pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\19\ the Commission may designate a
shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \17\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \18\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \19\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative
delay so that the proposal may become operative immediately upon
filing. The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay
is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest
as it will allow the Exchange to incorporate changes required under
Regulation SCI, such as establishing standards for designating BC/DR
participants, prior to the November 3, 2015 compliance date.
Accordingly, the Commission designates the proposed rule change to be
operative upon filing.\20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

Background and Purpose

    On June 9, 2008, June 10, 2008 and June 11, 2008 the town of Ocean
City, MD, will sponsor an air show that is to be held on the Atlantic
Ocean between 7th Street and 25th Street in Ocean City, MD. Due to the
need to protect mariners and the public from the hazards associated
with the air show, a safety zone bound by the following coordinates
will be enforced: 38[deg]-20[min]-59.6[sec] N/075[deg]-03[min]-
44.4[sec] W, 38[deg]-21[min]-10[sec] N/075[deg]-04[min]-19.9[sec] W,
38[deg]-20[min]-03.8[sec] N/075[deg]-04[min]-10.6[sec] W, 38[deg]-
20[min]-14.1[sec] N/075[deg]-04[min]-45.6[sec] W (NAD 1983). Access to
this area will be temporarily restricted for public safety.

Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes to establish a safety zone on the Atlantic
Ocean between 7th Street and 25th Street in Ocean City, MD. This safety
zone bound, by coordinates 38[deg]-20[min]-59.6[sec] N/075[deg]-
03[min]-44.4[sec] W, 38[deg]-21[min]-10[sec] N/075[deg]-04[min]-
19.9[sec] W, 38[deg]-20[min]-03.8[sec] N/075[deg]-04[min]-10.6[sec] W,
38[deg]-20[min]-14.1[sec] N/075[deg]-04[min]-45.6[sec] W (NAD 1983),
will be established during the Ocean City Air Show and be enforced from
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 9, 2008, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 10, 2008
and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 11, 2008. In the interest of public
safety, access to the safety zone will be restricted during the
specified date and times. Except for participants and vessels
authorized by the Captain of the Port or his Representative, no person
or vessel may enter or remain in the safety zone.

Regulatory Evaluation

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and

executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analysis
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Executive Order 12866

    This proposed rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits
under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under that Order.
    We expect the economic impact of this proposed rule to be so
minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. Although this
regulation restricts access to the regulated area, the effect of this
rule will not be significant because: (i) The safety zone will be in
effect for a limited duration; and (ii) the Coast Guard will make
notifications via maritime advisories so mariners can adjust their
plans accordingly.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this proposed rule would have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. 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 proposed
rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities because the zone will only be in place for a
limited duration and maritime advisories will be issued allowing the
mariners to adjust their plans accordingly. However, this rule may
affect the following entities, some of which may be small entities: the
owners and operators of vessels intending to transit or anchor in that
portion of the Atlantic Ocean from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 9, 2008,
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 10, 2008 and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June
11, 2008.
    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.

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 proposed rule so that they can better
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. If the
proposed rule would affect your small business, organization, or
governmental jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its
provisions or options for compliance, please contact Lieutenant Junior
Grade TaQuitia Winn, Assistant Chief, Waterways Management Division,
Sector Hampton Roads at<PHONE_NUMBER>. 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.

Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this proposed rule
under that Order and have determined that it does not have implications
for federalism.

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 or more in any
one year. Though this proposed rule would not result in such an
expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this
preamble.

Taking of Private Property

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

Civil Justice Reform

    This proposed 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.

Protection of Children

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

Indian Tribal Governments

    This proposed 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. We
invite your comments on how this proposed rule might impact tribal
governments, even if that impact may not constitute a ``tribal
implication'' under the Order.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13211,
Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or

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

Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD which guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination that this action is not likely to
have a significant effect on the human environment. A preliminary
``Environmental Analysis Check List'' supporting this preliminary
determination is available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may lead to the
discovery of a significant environmental impact from this proposed
rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 20, 2016, DOT released the Federal Automated Vehicles
Policy. The Policy is intended to ensure automated vehicle technologies
are safely introduced and achieve their full safety potential by
removing potential roadblocks to the integration of innovative
automotive technology. The full Policy can be found at www.nhtsa.gov/AV.
    On September 23, 2016, DOT published a notice requesting written
public comment regarding the contents of the Policy.\1\ Those comments
are due November 22, 2016. Concurrent with the notice requesting public
comment, DOT published a separate notice opening a separate docket for
commenters to respond to the proposed information collection request
for the Policy (81 FR 65709).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 81 FR 65703 (September 23, 2016), NHTSA-2016-0090.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meeting

    NHTSA has laid out four sections within the Policy that focus on
priority areas related to HAVs. During the morning session of the
meeting, the Agency will seek public input on those four sections to
include: Vehicle Performance Guidance for Automated Vehicles, Model
State Policy, NHTSA's Current Regulatory Tools, and Modern Regulatory
Tools. The focus will be to gather feedback regarding how manufacturers
and other entities have understood these four areas of interest, if
there are challenges foreseen, suggestions for clarification or more
thorough explanation, recommended improvements, or other input.
    During the afternoon session of the meeting, the Agency will seek
specific input from the public on the safety assessment letter. The
intent of the policy is for manufacturers and other entities involved
in the design, development, validation, testing and deployment of
automated vehicles to voluntarily submit to the Agency a letter
describing how they are meeting the 15 safety areas in the vehicle
performance guidance outlined in the policy.
    NHTSA is seeking input to refine the overall structure and content
of the safety assessment letter from the parties responsible for the
preparation and submission of these letters. This input will aid the
Agency in developing a template for entities to use as well as further
refine our anticipated internal processes necessary to review
submissions in a timely fashion.
    The meeting announced by this notice is being held during the open
comment period for the Policy to provide an opportunity for individuals
to provide oral feedback regarding the four sections of the Policy.
    Registration is necessary for all attendees. Attendees, including
those who do not plan to make any oral remarks at the meeting, should
register at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/12_tCd_PEWBiPCLnp1KmsSXV9vsoV6iAm1o_n736lbds/viewform?edit_requested=true by November 8, 2016. Please provide your
name, email address, and affiliation, indicate if you wish to offer
oral technical remarks, and please indicate whether you require
accommodations such as a sign language interpreter. Space is limited,
so advanced registration is highly encouraged.
    Although attendees will be given the opportunity to offer technical
remarks, there will not be time for attendees to make audio-visual
presentations during the meeting. Additionally, NHTSA may not be able
to accommodate all attendees who wish to make oral remarks. All
interested parties, not in attendance, unable to comment verbally, or
otherwise, are invited to share any views or information they would
like considered in the docket.
    NHTSA will conduct the public meeting informally, and technical
rules of evidence will not apply. We will arrange for a written
transcript of the meeting. You may make arrangements for copies of the
transcripts directly with the court reporter. The transcript will also
be posted in the docket when it becomes available.
    Should it be necessary to cancel the meeting due to inclement
weather or other emergency, NHTSA will take all available measures to
notify registered participants.

Morning Session Meeting Topics

    The morning session of the meeting will provide an opportunity for
individuals to express feedback regarding the four sections of the
Policy. NHTSA has issued the Policy to ensure automated vehicle
technologies are safely introduced and achieve their full safety
potential by removing potential roadblocks to the integration of
innovative automotive technology.
     Vehicle Performance Guidance for Automated Vehicles: This
section, which is addressed to manufacturers, developers, and other
organizations, outlines a 15 point ``Safety Assessment'' for the safe
design, development, validation, testing, and deployment of automated
vehicles.
     Model State Policy: This section describes the separate
and distinct responsibilities of the Federal and State governments for
regulation of HAVs, and recommends policy areas for States to consider
with a goal of generating a consistent national framework for the
validation, testing, and deployment of highly automated vehicles.
     Current Regulatory Tools: This section outlines DOT's
current regulatory tools that can be used in a more timely and
effective fashion to accelerate the safe development of HAVs, such as
interpreting current rules to allow for greater flexibility in design
and providing limited exemptions to allow manufacturers to gain
experience with nontraditional vehicle designs.
     Modern Regulatory Tools: This section identifies potential
new regulatory tools and statutory authorities that may aid the safe
and efficient deployment of new lifesaving technologies.

Afternoon Session Meeting Topics

    The afternoon session of the meeting provides an opportunity for
individuals to specifically comment on the Safety Assessment Letter to
NHTSA.\2\ As an example, the Agency is interested in how to structure a
letter such that it contains enough information to enable the public
and the Agency to understand how the submitter of the letter is meeting
the 15 safety areas, but avoids revealing confidential business
information or inadvertently creating a competitive disadvantage to
anyone submitting the letter. Concurrent with the Policy, DOT also
opened a docket for commenters to respond to this proposed information
collection request for the Policy (81 FR 65709).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Ibid., 15.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Specifically, commenters are asked to discuss the following topics
at the meeting:

 Content and Structure

    The Agency seeks comment on how much and what types of information
should be included in the letter to enable the public and the Agency to
understand the submitter's process, plan, approach, or other areas. In
the interest of achieving a reasonable degree

of consistency in the letters it receives, the Agency also seeks
comments on how the letters should be formatted. Finally, what is the
expected length of a well formatted letter?

 Identification of Responsible Manufacturers and Other Entities

    The Agency seeks comment on the entities that should be responsible
for the submission of these letters. Commenters should also consider
who should submit in these letters in the event that multiple parties
collaborate together.

 Transparency

    The Agency seeks to be as transparent as possible with these
letters, and expects to make them public to increase public
understanding and build consumer confidence. If commenters believe that
certain portions of the letter should not be made available to the
general public, please identify those portions and explain the reasons
for that belief and how withholding those portions might affect public
understanding and confidence. Commenters should discuss what format the
agency should use to present the public display of the information.

 Agency Response Processes

    The Agency will respond to persons who comment on safety assessment
letters received by the Agency. Commenters should focus on what form
this response should take, as well as what information the agency
should include. Commenters should also discuss their views on making
these responses available to the public.

 Timing

    The Agency seeks comments on the timing proposed in the Policy
document for the submission of the letters. Commenters should discuss
what types of changes or updates are important enough to trigger the
need to submit a new letter. In the event that changes or updates to
automated features make it necessary to submit a new letter, commenters
should discuss what time frame would be appropriate for re-submittal of
the assessment letters.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-77403; File No. SR-BOX-2016-12]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; BOX Options Exchange LLC; Notice
of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To
Comply With the Requirements of the Amended and Restated Limited
Liability Company Agreement of BOX Holdings, and To Permit Certain
Ownership Changes Pursuant Thereto

March 18, 2016.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on March 11, 2016, BOX Options Exchange LLC (the ``Exchange'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items
have been prepared by the self-regulatory organization. The Commission
is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule from
interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to comply with the requirements of the
Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of BOX
Holdings, and to permit certain ownership changes pursuant thereto. The
text of the proposed rule change is available from the principal office
of the Exchange, at the Commission's Public Reference Room and also on
the Exchange's Internet Web site at http://boxexchange.com.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    BOX Holdings is a limited liability company, organized under the
laws of the State of Delaware on August 26, 2010. BOX Holdings is the
sole owner of BOX Market LLC, a facility of the Exchange (``BOX
Market''). IB Exchange Corp (``IB'') became a Member of Holdings on May
10, 2012 with an ownership percentage of 20.1%, comprised of 2,125
Class A Units and 265 Class B Units. The purpose of this filing is to
provide notice that IB's economic interest in BOX Holdings will surpass
a 5% aggregate ownership threshold. IB's voting power with respect to
BOX Holdings remains unchanged and is limited to 20%.
    In January 2015, BOX Holdings launched a program available to all
Participants (the ``VPR Program'') pursuant to which Participants on
BOX Market that subscribe to the VPR Program (``Subscribers'') receive
additional equity units of BOX Holdings (``Class C Units'') by
providing order flow to BOX Market.\3\ Under the VPR Program, a
Subscribers' ownership of Class C Units may increase or decrease on a
quarterly basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 74171 (January 29,
2015), 80 FR 6153 (February 4, 2015) (SR-BOX-2015-05);75766 (August
27, 2015), 80 FR 40100 (July 13, 2015) (SR-BOX-2015-22)(Order
Approving the VPR Program); 74114 (January 22, 2015), 80 FR 4611
(January 28, 2015) (SR-BOX-2015-03); and 74576 (March 25, 2015), 80
FR 17122 (March 31, 2015) (SR-BOX-2015-16).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 7.4(f) of the Holdings LLC Agreement provides that a rule
filing pursuant to Section 19 of the Exchange Act is required with
respect to certain transactions that result in the acquisition and
holding by a person of an aggregate ownership interest in BOX Holdings
which meets or crosses the threshold level of 20% or any successive 5%
level.\4\ As of December 31, 2015, as a Subscriber to the VPR Program,
IB earned the right to receive additional 25.5 Class C Units which,
combined with IB's already held Class A, B and C Units, will result in
IB's aggregate ownership interest increasing from 24.97% to 25.08 and
thereby crossing a threshold level of 25%. These additional 25.5 Class
C Units, to which IB is entitled under the VPR Program, are being held
in escrow pending the effectiveness of this rule filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Section 7.4(f) of the Holdings LLC Agreement provides that,
``the parties agree that the following Transfers are subject to the
rule filing process pursuant to Section 19 of the Exchange Act: any
Transfer that results in the acquisition and holding by any Person,
alone or together with its Related Persons, of an aggregate
Percentage Interest level which meets or crosses the threshold level
of 20% or any successive 5% Percentage Interest level (i.e., 25%,
30%, etc.).''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The change in IB's ownership percentage will not alter the voting
power of IB in BOX Holdings. Pursuant to Section 7.4(h) of the Holdings
LLC Agreement,\5\ IB was, and will continue to be, limited to 20%
voting power with respect to BOX Holdings because it is a Participant
on BOX Market. IB will receive the economic benefit intended by the VPR
Program but no additional power or control of BOX Holdings will accrue
to IB as a result.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Section 7.4(h) of the Holdings LLC Agreement provides that,
``In the event that a Member, or any Related Person of such Member,
is approved by the Exchange as a BOX Options Participant pursuant to
the Exchange Rules, and such Member owns more than 20% of the Units,
alone or together with any Related Person of such Member (Units
owned in excess of 20% being referred to as ``Excess Units''), the
Member and its designated Directors shall have no voting rights
whatsoever with respect to any action relating to BOX Holdings nor
shall the Member or its designated Directors, if any, be entitled to
give any proxy in relation to a vote of the Members, in each case
solely with respect to the Excess Units held by such Member;
provided, however, that whether or not such Member or its designated
Directors, if any, otherwise participates in a meeting in person or
by proxy, such Member's Excess Units shall be counted for quorum
purposes and shall be voted by the person presiding over quorum and
vote matters in the same proportion as the Units held by the other
Members are voted (including any abstentions from voting).''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, the effectiveness of this rule filing will not affect
the ownership or control of the Exchange, including its capitalization,
board of directors, voting or control over BOX Market. All ownership
limits relating to the Exchange will continue to be strictly respected.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act,\6\ in general, and furthers
the objectives of Section 6(b)(1),\7\ in particular, in that it

enables the Exchange to be so organized so as to have the capacity to
be able to carry out the purposes of the Act and to comply, and to
enforce compliance by its exchange members and persons associated with
its exchange members, with the provisions of the Act, the rules and
regulations thereunder, and the rules of the Exchange. The proposal is
consistent with, and is required to comply with, the requirements of
the Holdings LLC Agreement and the VPR Program. The Exchange also
believes that this filing furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of
the Act \8\ in that it is designed to facilitate transactions in
securities, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices,
to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating,
clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market

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 not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposed rule change.

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

    Because the proposed rule change does not (i) significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30
days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate if consistent with the protection of investors
and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become effective
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the
Exchange's intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a
brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at least
five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The
Commission deems this requirement to have been met.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \11\ normally
does not become operative for 30 days after the date of filing.
However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\12\ the Commission may
designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has
requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay. The
Exchange noted that the transfer is intended to be completed in less
than 30 days. The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative
delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public
interest, as it will allow the transfer of Units to which IB is
entitled under the VPR Program to take place without further delay.
Accordingly, the Commission designates the proposed rule change to be
operative upon filing.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \13\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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

Electronic Comments

usage for Agency administrative legal proceedings. The purpose of the
modified system is to manage the administrative adjudicatory
proceedings held before the Agency through docketing, filing, case
tracking, and document management and storage. Litigants, Agency
attorneys and judges, and other interested parties may submit a variety
of documents to the system, including pleadings, motions, briefs,
exhibits, orders, hearing transcripts and initial decisions.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[File No. 500-1]

China Changjiang Mining & New Energy Co., Ltd.; Order of
Suspension of Trading

April 1, 2011.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is
a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of
China Changjiang Mining & New Energy Co., Ltd. (``CHJI''), a Nevada
corporation previously known as North American Gaming and Entertainment
Corporation. CHJI has headquarters and operations in the People's
Republic of China and trades in the over-the-counter market under the
symbol ``CHJI.''
    Questions have arisen regarding the accuracy and completeness of
information contained in CHJI's public filings with the Commission
concerning, among other things, the company's financial statements for
2009 and 2010. CHJI has failed to disclose that (a) the company filed
its last periodic report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September
30, 2010 without the required review of the interim financial
statements by an independent public accountant; and (b) the company's
independent auditor has resigned, withdrawn its audit opinion issued
April 16, 2010 relating to the audit of the company's consolidated
financial statements as of December 31, 2009, and informed the company
that the financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, June 30,
and September 30, 2010 could no longer be relied upon.
    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the
protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the
securities of the above-listed company.
    Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the securities of the
above-listed company is suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EDT, on
April 1, 2011 through 11:59 p.m. EDT, on April 14, 2011.

    By the Commission.

Secretary.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Notice of Submission Deadline To Amend Slot Records for LaGuardia
Airport

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation.

ACTION: Notice of submission deadline.

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

SUMMARY: Under this notice, the FAA announces the submission deadline
of January 5, 2015, for requests to amend slot records (adjust slot
times and arrival/departure designations) at New York LaGuardia Airport
(LGA).

DATES: Adjustment requests must be submitted no later than January 5,
2015.

ADDRESSES: Adjustment requests may be submitted by mail to the Slot
Administration Office, AGC-200, Office of the Chief Counsel, 800
Independence Ave. SW., Washington, DC 20591; by facsimile to: 202-267-
7277; or by email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Hawks, Office of the Chief
Counsel, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue SW.,
Washington, DC 20591; telephone number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Scheduled operations at LGA currently are
limited by FAA Order until a final Slot Management and Transparency
Rule for LaGuardia Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport, and
Newark Liberty International Airport (RIN 2120-AJ89) becomes effective
but not later than October 29, 2016.\1\ The LGA Order permits the
leasing or trading of slots through the expiration date of the Order,
but this mechanism limits a carrier's ability to permanently adjust its
slot base through trades with another carrier, as is common at Ronald
Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA). Additionally, the Order
permanently allocates slots, unlike the EWR and JFK Orders that
allocate slots and permit slot retimings on a seasonal basis, subject
to availability of slots through a transparent process generally
following the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Worldwide
Slot Guidelines (WSG).\2\

    \2\ See 79 FR 16857 (Mar. 26, 2014) (EWR Order); 79 FR 16854

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

    In July 2014, the FAA announced a submission deadline for requests
to amend slot records (adjust slot times and arrival/departure
designations) and evaluated those requests in anticipation of the 2014-
15 winter IATA scheduling season.\3\ The FAA received generally
favorable feedback from carriers and interested parties on the
adjustment process. Historically, the FAA had evaluated and confirmed
these adjustment requests, consistent with the LGA Order and prior FAA
practice, on a first-come, first-served basis after evaluating whether
they have an operational benefit or a neutral effect on operations.
Since 2007, adjustments have improved LGA operational performance.
Although the FAA had not necessarily intended to request and review
slot adjustments on a regular basis, it has determined that using a
seasonal review process addresses operational necessities in a fair and
transparent manner. Therefore, in the future the FAA will establish
submission deadlines by Federal Register notice in early August and
early December because the FAA has noticed that the largest number of
requests occur as carriers are finalizing their planned schedules. The
FAA will continue to review all adjustment requests submitted outside
of this semi-annual process in the order they are received.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 79 FR 44088 (Jul. 29, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To evaluate LGA slot adjustments for the upcoming 2015 summer IATA
scheduling season in a fair and transparent manner, the FAA is
establishing a deadline of January 5, 2015, for carriers to request
retiming and changes to the arrival/departure designation of currently-
held slots. Carriers should provide slot information in sufficient
detail including, at a minimum, the operating carrier, slot number,
scheduled time of arrival or departure, frequency, arrival/departure
designation, and effective dates. Consistent with past practice, the
FAA will evaluate requests in light of the overall operational impact
at LGA and whether the requests improve or have a neutral effect on
operational performance. The FAA will consider both short-term
adjustments and adjustments through the expiration of the LGA Order. In
addition, if the FAA receives conflicting requests for retiming, the
FAA will give priority to new entrants and limited incumbents,
consistent with the LGA Order and FAA practice. The terms of the LGA
Order prevent the FAA from allocating new slots in hours at or above
the slot limit.
    The FAA will evaluate requests received by January 5, 2015, and
intends to respond to the requests no later than January 12, 2015. The
FAA cannot guarantee that all requests to adjust slot holdings will be
confirmed. Requests received after January 5, 2015, will be evaluated
after timely requests in the order they are received. As permitted
under paragraph A.5 of the LGA Order, carriers are encouraged to engage
in slot trades, when possible, to achieve desired timings.

Assistant Chief Counsel for International Law, Legislation, and
Regulations.
