SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-84958; File No. SR-ISE-2018-101]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Nasdaq ISE, LLC; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Extend the Penny
Pilot Program

December 26, 2018.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on December 21, 2018, Nasdaq ISE, LLC (``ISE'' or ``Exchange'') 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 the Exchange. The Commission is publishing
this notice to solicit

comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend its rules to extend a pilot program
to quote and to trade certain options classes in penny increments
(``Penny Pilot Program'' or ``Penny Pilot'').
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at http://ise.cchwallstreet.com/, at the principal office of
the Exchange, 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, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    Under the Penny Pilot Program, the minimum price variation for all
participating options classes, except for the Nasdaq-100 Index Tracking
Stock (``QQQQ''), the SPDR S&P 500 Exchange Traded Fund (``SPY'') and
the iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund (``IWM''), is $0.01 for all
quotations in options series that are quoted at less than $3 per
contract and $0.05 for all quotations in options series that are quoted
at $3 per contract or greater. QQQQ, SPY and IWM are quoted in $0.01
increments for all options series. The Penny Pilot Program is currently
scheduled to expire on December 31, 2018.\3\ The Exchange proposes to
extend the Penny Pilot Program through June 30, 2019, and to provide a
revised date for adding replacement issues to the Penny Pilot Program.
The Exchange proposes that any Penny Pilot Program issues that have
been delisted may be replaced on the second trading day following
January 1, 2019. The replacement issues will be selected based on
trading activity for the most recent six month period excluding the
month immediately preceding the replacement (i.e., beginning June 1,
2018, and ending November 30, 2018). This filing does not propose any
substantive changes to the Penny Pilot Program: All classes currently
participating will remain the same and all minimum increments will
remain unchanged. The Exchange believes the benefits to public
customers and other market participants who will be able to express
their true prices to buy and sell options have been demonstrated to
outweigh any increase in quote traffic.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Exchange Act Release No. 83531 (June 28, 2018), 83 FR
31243 (July 3, 2018) (SR-ISE-2018-57).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder that are applicable to a national securities exchange, and,
in particular, with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\4\
Specifically, the proposed rule change is consistent with Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\5\ because it is designed to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanisms of a free and open market and a national market system and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest. In
particular, the proposed rule change, which extends the Penny Pilot
Program for an additional six months, will enable public customers and
other market participants to express their true prices to buy and sell
options to the benefit of all market participants.

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

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

    In accordance with Section 6(b)(8) of the Act,\6\ the Exchange does
not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on
intermarket or intramarket competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. Specifically,
the Exchange believes that, by extending the expiration of the Penny
Pilot Program, the proposed rule change will allow for further analysis
of the Penny Pilot Program and a determination of how the Penny Pilot
Program should be structured in the future. In doing so, the proposed
rule change will also serve to promote regulatory clarity and
consistency, thereby reducing burdens on the marketplace and
facilitating investor protection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    No written comments were either solicited or 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) of the Act \7\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \8\ thereunder. Because
the foregoing 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 after the date of the filing, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
\10\ thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \11\ normally
does not become operative prior to 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 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 because doing so will
allow the Pilot Program to continue without interruption in a manner
that is consistent with the Commission's prior approval of the
extension and expansion of the Pilot Program.\13\ Accordingly, the
Commission designates the proposed rule change as operative upon filing
with the Commission.\14\

2009), 74 FR 62857 (December 1, 2009) (SR-NYSEArca-2009-44).
    \14\ For purposes only of waiving the operative delay for this
proposal, the Commission has 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

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

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

Extension:
    Rule 17a-7; Sec File No. 270-147; OMB Control No. 3235-0131.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (``OMB'') a request for extension of the previously approved
collection of information discussed below.
    Rule 17a-7 (17 CFR 240.17a-7) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (``Exchange Act'') requires non-resident
broker-dealers registered or applying for registration pursuant to
Section 15 of the Exchange Act to maintain--in the United States--
complete and current copies of books and records required to be
maintained under any rule adopted under the Exchange Act.
Alternatively, Rule 17a-7 provides that non-resident broker-dealers may
sign written undertakings to furnish the requisite books and records to
the Commission upon demand.
    There are approximately 63 non-resident broker-dealers. Based on
the Commission's experience in this area, it is estimated that the
average amount of time necessary to preserve the books and records
required by Rule 17a-7 is one hour per year. Accordingly, the total
burden is 63 hours per year. With an average cost per hour of
approximately $294, the total cost of compliance for the respondents is
approximately $18,522 per year.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid control number.
    Comments should be directed to (i) Desk Officer for the Securities
and Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office
Building, Washington, DC 20503, or by sending an e-mail to: Shagufta_

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2021-0716; Project Identifier 2019-CE-023-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Stemme AG Gliders

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for all Stemme AG Model Stemme S 12 gliders. This proposed AD was
prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
issued by the aviation authority of another country to identify and
correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes
the unsafe condition as an airspeed indicator (ASI) with speed markings
inconsistent with the approved and published values. This proposed AD
would require inspecting the ASI markings and, depending on findings,
either replacing the ASI or amending the existing aircraft flight
manual (AFM) until the ASI is replaced. The FAA is proposing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by October 12,
2021.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2021-0716; Project Identifier
2019-CE-023-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the proposal, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposal because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The agency will also post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact received about this NPRM.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this NPRM contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this NPRM, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted

comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Jim
Rutherford, Aviation Safety Engineer, General Aviation & Rotorcraft
Section, International Validation Branch, FAA, 901 Locust, Room 301,
Kansas City, MO 64106. Any commentary that the FAA receives which is
not specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket
for this rulemaking.

Background

    The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the
Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued
EASA AD 2019-0082, dated April 12, 2019 (referred to after this as
``the MCAI''), to address an unsafe condition on Stemme AG Model Stemme
S 12 gliders. The MCAI states:

    During a production inspection of a new powered sailplane, an
ASI was found with speed markings inconsistent with the approved and
published values (begin[ning] of the white and green arc).
Subsequent investigation of the production records for delivered
Stemme S 12 powered sailplanes does not exclude that a similar, non-
conforming ASI was installed during production.
    This condition, if not corrected, could lead to erroneous
information being provided to the pilot, particularly at the lower
speed operation limits, possibly resulting in reduced control of the
powered sailplane.
    To address this unsafe condition, Stemme AG issued the SB
[service bulletin] to provide inspections instructions.
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD requires a one-
time inspection of the markings of the affected part and, depending
on findings, amending the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) and replacing
the affected part. This [EASA] AD also prohibits installation of
affected parts.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2021-
0716.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Stemme Service Bulletin No. P062-980027, Revision
00, dated December 17, 2018. The service information specifies checking
the ASI markings and provides illustrations of correct markings. The
service information specifies the procedure to replace an affected ASI
with an ASI with correct markings. The service information also
includes a temporary page to insert into the AFM until the ASI is
replaced. This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in ADDRESSES.

FAA's Determination

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and
service information referenced above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM
after determining the unsafe condition described previously is likely
to exist or develop on other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require a one-time inspection of the ASI
markings and, depending on findings, either replacing the ASI before
further flight or amending the existing AFM until the ASI is replaced
within 3 months.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 20 gliders of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates that it would
take about 0.5 work-hour per glider to comply with the inspection
requirements of this AD. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour.
    Based on these figures, the FAA estimates the cost of this AD on
U.S. operators to be $850 or $42.50 per glider.
    The FAA estimates that amending the AFM to insert and then remove
the temporary page as a result of the inspection would take about 1
work-hour per glider for a total cost of $85 per glider. The FAA
estimates that replacing the ASI would take about 3.5 work-hours and
require parts costing $603, for a total cost of $900.50 per glider. The
FAA has no way of determining the number of gliders that may need these
actions.
    The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some of the costs of this AD
may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected operators.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements.
Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight
of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for
practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary
for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to
exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

The Proposed Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13   [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive:

Stemme AG: Docket No. FAA-2021-0716; Project Identifier 2019-CE-023-
AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments on this airworthiness directive
(AD) by October 12, 2021.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Stemme AG Model Stemme S 12 gliders, all
serial numbers, certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

    Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) Code 3414, Airspeed/Mach
Indicator.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness
information (MCAI) issued by the aviation authority of another
country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation
product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as an airspeed
indicator (ASI) with speed markings inconsistent with the approved
and published values (beginning of the white and green arc). The FAA
is issuing this AD to prevent erroneous information being provided
to the pilot, particularly at the lower speed operation limits. The
unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in reduced control
of the glider.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: FERC-1000, Request for a Medical Exception to the COVID-19
Vaccination Requirement.
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0320.
    Abstract: The purpose of this three-year renewal of the information
collection is to allow the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to
collect information from FERC employees (and their medical providers)
applying for a medical exception to the COVID-19 Vaccination
Requirement as specified in Part 2 of FERC Form No. 1000.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The vaccination requirement issued pursuant to E.O. 14043,
is currently the subject of a nationwide injunction. While that
injunction remains in place, the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) will not process requests for a medical exception
from the COVID-19 vaccination requirement pursuant to E.O. 14043.
FERC will also not request the submission of any medical information
related to a request for an exception from the vaccination
requirement pursuant to E.O. 14043 while the injunction remains in
place. But FERC may nevertheless receive information regarding a
medical exception. That is because, if FERC were to receive a
request for an exception from the COVID-19 vaccination requirement
pursuant to E.O. 14043 during the pendency of the injunction, FERC
will accept the request, hold it in abeyance, and notify the
employee who submitted the request that implementation and
enforcement of the COVID-19 vaccination requirement pursuant to E.O.
14043 is currently enjoined and that an exception therefore is not
necessary so long as the injunction is in place. In other words,
during the pendency of the injunction, any information collection
related to requests for medical exception from the COVID-19
vaccination requirement pursuant to E.O. 14043 is not undertaken to
implement or enforce the COVID-19 vaccination requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Consistent with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), guidance from the Safer Federal Workforce Task Force
established pursuant to Executive Order 13991 of January 20, 2021,
Protecting the Federal Workforce and Requiring Mask-Wearing, and
Executive Order 14043 of September 9, 2021, Requiring Coronavirus
Disease 2019 Vaccination for Federal Employees, the request for this
information collection is essential to continue the Commission's health
and safety measures regarding the federal employee medical exceptions
to the COVID-19 mandatory vaccinations. In addition, the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973, as amended, requires Federal Agencies to provide
reasonable accommodations to qualified employees with disabilities
unless that reasonable accommodation would impose an undue hardship on
the employee's Agency. See 29 U.S.C. 791 and 29 CFR part 1614; see also
20 CFR part 1630 and Executive Order 13164 of July 26, 2000, Requiring
Federal Agencies to Establish Procedures to Facilitate the Provision of
Reasonable Accommodation. Section 2 of E.O. 14043 mandates that each
agency, ``implement, to the extent consistent with applicable law, a
program to require COVID-19 vaccination for all of its Federal
employees, with exceptions only as required by law.'' This medical
exception form (FERC Form No. 1000) is necessary for the Commission to
determine whether to grant medical exceptions to the vaccine
requirement under the Rehabilitation Act.
    The information being requested helps promote the safety of the
Federal workforce, Federal buildings, and others on site at FERC
facilities. This collection is consistent with the COVID-19 Workplace
Safety Agency Model Safety Principles established by the White House
Safer Federal Workforce Task Force and guidance from the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.
    Type of Respondent: Medical Providers.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: \2\ The Commission estimates the annual
public reporting burden for the information collection as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ ``Burden'' is the total time, effort, or financial resources
expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal agency. For further
explanation of what is included in the information collection
burden, refer to Title 5 Code of Federal Regulations 1320.3.

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

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

    \3\ Cost estimates are based on industry costs for general
internal medicine physicians (NAICS code 29-1216) defined by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. The cost figure for the general internal
medicine physicians in 2021 was an average annual salary plus
benefits of $300,076/year or $144/hour.
