Select Updates for Non-Clinical Engineering Tests and Recommended
Labeling for Intravascular Stents and Associated Delivery Systems;
Draft Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff;
Availability

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the
availability of the draft guidance entitled ``Select Updates for Non-
Clinical Engineering Tests and Recommended Labeling for Intravascular
Stents and Associated Delivery Systems.'' FDA has developed this
guidance to inform the coronary and peripheral stent industry about
selected updates to FDA's thinking regarding certain non-clinical
testing for these devices. While FDA is considering more substantial
updates to the ``Non-Clinical Engineering Tests and Recommended
Labeling for Intravascular Stents and Associated Delivery Systems''
guidance (http://www.fda.gov/medicaldevices/deviceregulationandguidance/guidancedocuments/ucm071863.htm), we are
issuing this update on select sections in order to notify the industry
in a timely manner of our revised recommendations. This draft guidance
is not final nor is it in effect at this time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA held a public workshop entitled ``Cardiovascular Metallic
Implants: Corrosion, Surface Characterization, and Nickel Leaching'' on
March 8 and 9, 2012, that provided information on current practices for
performing these tests (see http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/NewsEvents/WorkshopsConferences/ucm287535.htm). A group of participants
from industry, test facilities, and academia provided comments on
practices for corrosion testing and nickel ion release testing. Based
on the discussion at the workshop, this draft guidance updates a key
aspect of sample conditioning for pitting corrosion testing that is
less burdensome, and includes additional information on when galvanic
corrosion testing may be omitted with justification, based on
information gained from the workshop. This guidance provides updates
only for the following topics:
     Pitting corrosion potential;
     Galvanic corrosion;
     Surface characterization; and
     Nickel ion release.
    This draft guidance provides cross-references and updates to the
related sections of the existing ``Non-Clinical Engineering Tests and
Recommended Labeling for Intravascular Stents and Associated Delivery
Systems'' guidance. Following the close of the comment period on this
guidance, FDA intends to consider the comments received, revise this
draft guidance as appropriate, and publish it in final. Simultaneously,
FDA will issue an update to the existing guidance to add cross-
references where this selected updates guidance supersedes the existing
recommendations. Subsequently, FDA will incorporate the elements of the
final select updates guidance into an anticipated revision of the
entire ``Non-Clinical Engineering Tests and Recommended Labeling for
Intravascular Stents and Associated Delivery Systems'' guidance.
    This draft guidance also lists the relevant product codes for
stents addressed in the guidance. Of note is that the product code NXP
(Stent, Tibial), which is not currently listed in the existing ``Non-
Clinical Engineering Tests and Recommended Labeling for Intravascular
Stents and Associated Delivery Systems'' guidance, has been added. This
product code was not created until after the current guidance was
published, however, the recommendations in this draft guidance are
applicable to tibial stents. Further, FDA will include this product
code in the anticipated revision of the entire ``Non-Clinical
Engineering Tests and Recommended Labeling for Intravascular Stents and
Associated Delivery Systems'' guidance.

II. Significance of Guidance

    This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when
finalized, will represent the Agency's current thinking on certain non-
clinical testing for coronary and peripheral stents. It does not create
or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind
FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such approach
satisfies the requirements of the applicable statute and regulations.

III. Electronic Access

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 147

[Docket Number USCG-2022-0982]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Anchor Floating Production Unit (FPU) Outer
Continental Shelf Facility, Green Canyon Block 763, Gulf of Mexico

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing to establish a safety zone on the
navigable waters around the Anchor Floating Production Unit (FPU),
located in Green Canyon Block 763 on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS)
in the Gulf of Mexico. The purpose of this proposed rule is to protect
the facility from all vessel traffic operating outside the normal
shipping channels and fairways that are not providing service to or
working with the facility. Establishing a safety zone around the
facility will significantly reduce the threat of allisions, collisions,
security breaches, oil spills, releases of natural gas, and thereby
protect the safety of life, property, and the environment.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before May 15, 2023.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2022-0982 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this
proposed rulemaking, call or email LCDR David Newcomb, District Eight
OCS, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>,
[email protected].

Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    Under the authority provided in 14 U.S.C. 544, 43 U.S.C. 1333, and
Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 00170.1, Revision No.
01.3, 33 CFR part 147 permits the establishment of safety zones for
facilities located on the OCS for the purpose of protecting life and
property on the facilities. The protections included in a safety zone
established under 33 CFR part 147 are promoting safety of life and
property on the facilities as well as their appurtenances and attending
vessels and also for the adjacent waters located in and around each
facility. Therefore, a safety zone under 33 CFR part 147 may also
include provisions to restrict, prevent, or control certain activities,
including access by vessels or persons to maintain safety of life,
property and the environment. Chevron Corporation requested that the
Coast Guard establish a safety zone around its facility located in the
deepwater area of the Gulf of Mexico on the OCS. Placing a safety zone
around this facility will significantly reduce the threat of allisions,
oil spills, and releases of natural gas, and thereby protect the safety
of life, property, and the environment.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The safety zone proposed by this rulemaking is on the OCS in the
deepwater area of the Gulf of Mexico in Green Canyon 763 at the center
point of N 27[deg]12'23.0394'', Longitude W 91[deg]11'53.1594'' (NAD
83). The safety zone would be permanent. For the purpose of safety
zones established under 33 CFR part 147, the deepwater area is
considered to be waters of 304.8 meters (1,000 feet) or greater depth
extending to the limits of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) contiguous
to the territorial sea of the United States and extending to a distance
up to 200 nautical miles from the baseline from which the breadth of
the sea is measured. Navigation in the vicinity of the safety zone
consists of large commercial shipping vessels, fishing vessels, cruise
ships, tugs with tows and the occasional recreational vessel. The
deepwater area also includes an extensive system of fairways.
    Only vessels measuring less than 100 feet in length overall and not
engaged in towing, attending vessels as defined in 33 CFR 147.20, or
those vessels specifically authorized by the Eighth Coast Guard
District Commander or a designated representative are permitted to
enter or remain in the safety zone. Public transit into and through the
safety zone area would be prohibited unless a vessel is specifically
authorized by the District Commander or a designated representative.
Requests for entry into the zone will be considered and reviewed on a
case-by-case basis. These proposed regulations are consistent with the
existing safety zones of other OCS platforms in the Gulf of Mexico.
    Persons or vessels requiring authorization to enter the safety zone
must request permission from the Commander, Eighth Coast Guard
District. If permission is granted, all persons and vessels shall
comply with the instructions of the Commander or designated
representative.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed 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. 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).
    Aligning with 33 CFR 147.15, the safety zone established will
extend to a maximum distance of 500 meters around the OCS facility
measured from each point on its outer edge but may not interfere with
the use of recognized sea lanes essential to navigation. Vessel traffic
would be able to safely transit around the proposed safety zone, which
would impact a small designated area in the Gulf of Mexico, without
significant impediment to their voyage. This safety zone would reduce
the risk of collision with the platform and help protect the
environment from potential oil spills, in accordance with Coast Guard
maritime safety missions.

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
proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    This proposed rule may affect owners or operators of vessels
intending to transit or anchor in Green Canyon 763, some of which might
be small entities.
    This safety zone would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons. Vessel
traffic could pass safely around the safety zone using an alternate
route. Use of an alternate route may cause minimal delay in reaching a
final destination, depending on other traffic in the area and vessel
speed. Vessels would be able to request deviation from this proposed
rule to transit through the safety zone. Such requests will be
considered on a case-by-case basis and may be authorized by the
Commander, Eighth Coast Guard District or a designated representative.
Therefore, the Coast Guard expects any impact of this rulemaking
establishing a safety zone around an OCS facility to be minimal, with
no significant economic impact on small entities.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this proposed 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 proposed 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 proposed rule
would affect your small business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or
options for compliance, please call or email 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 proposed rule would 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 proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Further, 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. If
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or
Indian tribes, please call or email the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.

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

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing
instructions, and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series),
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 the
establishment of a safety zone around an OCS facility to protect life,
property, and the marine environment. Normally such actions are
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60 of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A
preliminary Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this
determination is available in the docket. For instructions on locating
the docket, see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble. 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 call or email 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.

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments

    We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which
each comment applies, and provide a reason for each suggestion or
recommendation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Agenda: The committee will discuss biologics license application
761024, for ABP 501, a proposed biosimilar to AbbVie Inc.'s HUMIRA
(adalimumab), submitted by Amgen, Inc. The proposed indications (uses)
for this product are: (1) Reducing signs and symptoms, inducing major
clinical response, inhibiting the progression of structural damage, and
improving physical function in adult patients with moderately to
severely active rheumatoid arthritis (alone or in combination with
methotrexate or other non-biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic
drugs (DMARDs)); (2) reducing signs and symptoms of moderately to
severely active polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis in patients
4 years of age and older (alone or in combination with methotrexate);
(3) reducing signs and symptoms, inhibiting the progression of
structural damage, and improving physical function in adult patients
with active psoriatic arthritis (alone or in combination with non-
biologic DMARDs); (4) reducing signs and

symptoms in adult patients with active ankylosing spondylitis; (5)
reducing signs and symptoms and inducing and maintaining clinical
remission in adult patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's
disease who have had an inadequate response to conventional therapy
(ABP 501 would be indicated for reducing signs and symptoms and
inducing clinical remission in these patients if they have also lost
response to or are intolerant to infliximab); (6) inducing and
sustaining clinical remission in adult patients with moderately to
severely active ulcerative colitis who have had an inadequate response
to immunosuppressants such as corticosteroids, azathioprine or 6-
mercaptopurine (6-MP) (the effectiveness of ABP-501 would not be
established in patients who have lost response to or were intolerant to
TNF blockers); and (7) treatment of adult patients with moderate to
severe chronic plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy
or phototherapy, and when other systemic therapies are medically less
appropriate (only to be administered to patients who will be closely
monitored and have regular follow-up visits with a physician).
    FDA intends to make background material available to the public no
later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post
the background material on its Web site prior to the meeting, the
background material will be made publicly available at the location of

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. PF08-3-000]

White River Hub, LLC; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the White River Hub Project and Request
for Comments oOn Environmental Issues

November 9, 2007.
    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) and
the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
are evaluating the White River Hub Project, planned by White River Hub,
LLC (White River). The project includes construction of about 6.5 miles
of new pipeline and related facilities; a new compressor station; and
acquisition of about 3 miles of existing pipeline, all in Rio Blanco
County, Colorado. As part of this evaluation, the Commission staff (as
the lead federal agency for satisfying the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 [NEPA]) will prepare an environmental
assessment (EA) to identify and address environmental impacts that
could result from construction and operation of the project. The EA
will be prepared with the assistance and cooperation of the BLM's White
River Field Office staff in Meeker, Colorado. The Commission and the
BLM (Agencies) will use the EA in their respective decision-making
processes to determine whether to authorize the planned project.
    This Notice describes the project-related facilities and explains
the scoping process that the Agencies will use to gather input from the
public and interested agencies on the planned project. Your input will
help determine the issues that need to be addressed in the EA. Please
note that the scoping period for the planned project will close on
December 10, 2007.
    This Notice is being sent to federal, state, and local government
agencies; elected officials; environmental and public interest groups;
Native American tribes; other interested parties; and local libraries
and newspapers. This includes all landowners who are potential right-
of-way grantors, whose property may be used temporarily for project
purposes, or who own homes within distances defined in the Commission's
regulations of certain aboveground facilities. We encourage government
representatives to notify their constituents of this planned project
and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern. To ensure that
your comments are considered, please follow the instructions in the
Public Participation section below.
    With this Notice, we \1\ are asking other federal, state, and local
agencies with jurisdiction and/or special expertise with respect to
environmental issues in the project area to formally cooperate with us
in the preparation of this EA. These agencies may choose to participate
once they have evaluated the planned project relative to their
responsibilities. Entities that would like to request cooperating
agency status should follow the instructions for filing comments
described in the Public Participation section of this Notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ ``We,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the Commission's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If you are a landowner receiving this Notice, you may be contacted
by a White River representative about the acquisition of an easement to
construct, operate, and maintain the proposed pipeline facilities. The
pipeline company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable
agreement to cover

the easement, damages that may occur during construction, and any other
issues raised by the landowner. The Commission encourages pipeline
companies to acquire as much of the right-of-way (ROW) as possible by
negotiation with the landowners. If the FERC approves the project, that
approval will convey with it the right of eminent domain to secure
easements for the facilities. Eminent domain is intended for use when
easement negotiations fail to produce an agreement. In such instances,
the pipeline company could initiate condemnation proceedings in
accordance with state law.
    A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural
Gas Facility on My Land? What Do I Need to Know?'' is available for
viewing on the FERC Internet Web site (http://www.ferc.gov). This fact

sheet addresses a number of typically asked questions, including the
use of eminent domain for pipeline facilities and how to participate in
the FERC's proceedings.

Summary of the Planned Project

    White River plans to construct and operate the following
facilities:
     About 6.5 miles of 30-inch-diameter pipeline, extending
westward from the Greasewood Hub and a new interconnection (``tie-in'')
with an existing 36-inch-diameter pipeline owned by Enterprise Products
Operating LLC (Enterprise) near the Piceance Creek;
     A new tie-in with the Enterprise pipeline, including pig
\2\ launching/receiving facilities and a new access road from County
Road 5;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ A pipeline ``pig'' is a device to clean or inspect the
pipeline internally. A pig launcher/receiver is an aboveground
facility where pigs are inserted or retrieved from the pipeline.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     A new meter station at the Greasewood Hub end of the new
pipeline, including a common header for interconnections with existing
gas transporters at the Hub and pig launching/receiving facilities; and
     Other appurtenant facilities.
    Within the fenced area of the new meter station, Questar Pipeline
Company (Questar) would construct and operate new compression
facilities consisting of up to three reciprocating engine-driven
compressors totaling 7,700 horsepower. Equipment related to the
compressor station would include gas coolers, a standby generator, and
buildings to house the compressors and generators. While Questar would
construct the compression facilities under its FERC-issued Blanket
Certificate, potential impacts would be addressed in the EA.
    White River would also acquire from Enterprise about 3 miles of 36-
inch-diameter pipeline, extending between Enterprise's existing natural
gas processing plant and the Rockies Express Compressor Station. All of
the planned and existing facilities that constitute the White River Hub
Project would be located in Rio Blanco County, Colorado. The general
location of the project is shown in appendix 1.

Land Requirements for Construction

    White River's pipeline construction design includes a 100-foot-wide
ROW. The wide construction ROW would enable White River to store
topsoil stripped from the full ROW separate from subsoils removed from
the trench. At some locations, this width would be increased to 125-150
feet to accommodate rugged terrain, steep side-slopes, foreign pipeline
crossings, access approaches, etc. Additional temporary extra workspace
would also be required where the planned pipeline crosses roads and
foreign utilities. Construction of the planned pipeline would disturb
about 100 acres.
    The 50-foot-square Enterprise tie-in would require about 0.3 acre
during construction, while construction of the meter station at the
Greasewood Hub would take place within the planned 4.6-acre permanent
site. With the exception of the 25-foot-wide by 400-foot-long (0.2
acre) new access road to the Enterprise tie-in, existing access roads
would be used to construct the new pipeline. Of these roads, about 3
miles would have to be upgraded to handle construction vehicles
(totaling about 9 acres of temporary disturbance). Finally, truck ramps
would be constructed where the new pipeline crosses County Road 5 (0.5
acre of temporary disturbance). Overall, construction is estimated to
temporarily disturb about 114 acres, not including pipe storage and
contractor yards which have yet to be located.
    Following construction, White River plans to maintain a 50-foot-
wide permanent ROW for the new pipeline. In addition to the new access
road to the Enterprise tie-in facility and the new meter station at
Greasewood, land permanently affected by the planned White River Hub
Project would total about 44 acres.\3\ All temporary workspaces outside
the permanent ROW would be restored and allowed to revert to current
uses.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Because the tie-in would be sited entirely within the
existing Enterprise ROW, this facility would not contribute to the
land area permanently affected.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The EA Process

    We are preparing this EA to comply with NEPA, which requires the
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could
result if it authorizes White River's planned project. NEPA also
requires us to discover and address concerns the public may have about
proposal. This process is referred to as ``scoping.'' The main goal of
the scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important
environmental issues and reasonable alternatives. With this Notice, we
are requesting public comments on the scope of the issues to be
addressed in the EA. All comments received will be considered during
preparation of the EA.
    The EA will present our independent analysis of the issues.
Depending upon the comments received during the scoping process, the EA
may be published and mailed to federal, state, and local agencies,
public interest groups, interested individuals, potentially affected
landowners, newspapers and libraries in the project area, and the
Commission's official service list for this proceeding. A comment
period will be allotted for review if the EA is published. We will
consider all timely comments on the EA before we make our
recommendations to the Commission. To ensure your comments are
considered, please carefully follow the instructions in the Public
Participation section below.
    Although no formal application has been filed with the FERC, we
have already initiated our NEPA review under the Commission's Pre-

organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to (1) delete Dealings and Settlements (Rule
45-

299C), Rule 235 (Ex-Dividend, Ex-Rights), Rule 236 (Ex-Warrants), and
Rule 257 (Deliveries After ``Ex'' Date) and (2) amend Dealings and
SettlementsT (Rule 45-299C), Rule 235T (Ex-Dividend, Ex-Rights), Rule
236T (Ex-Warrants), and Rule 257T (Deliveries After ``Ex'' Date) to
reflect the standard settlement cycle in Securities Exchange Act Rule
15c6-1(a). The proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at www.nyse.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 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 those 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 parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to (1) delete Dealings and Settlements (Rule
45-299C), Rule 235 (Ex-Dividend, Ex-Rights), Rule 236 (Ex-Warrants),
and Rule 257 (Deliveries After ``Ex'' Date) and (2) amend Dealings and
SettlementsT (Rule 45-299C), Rule 235T (Ex-Dividend, Ex-Rights), Rule
236T (Ex-Warrants), and Rule 257T (Deliveries After ``Ex'' Date) to
reflect the standard settlement cycle in Securities Exchange Act (the
``Act'') Rule 15c6-1(a) (``Rule 15c6-1(a)'').
Background
    On September 28, 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``SEC'') proposed amendments to Rule 15c6-1(a) to shorten the standard
settlement cycle from T+3 to T+2.\4\ The amendment was adopted on March
22, 2017, with a compliance date of September 5, 2017.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 78962 (September 28,
2016), 81 FR 69240 (October 5, 2016) (File No. S7-22-16).
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80295 (March 22,
2017), 82 FR 15564 (March 29, 2017) (File No. S7-22-16).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In response, the Exchange adopted new rules with the modifier ``T''
to reflect a T+2 settlement cycle.\6\ Because the Exchange would not
implement the new rules until after the final implementation of T+2,
the Exchange retained the versions of the rules reflecting T+3
settlement on its books. Certain of these rules were deleted in
connection with the Exchange's elimination of non-regular way
trading.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80021 (February 10,
2017), 82 FR 10931(February 16, 2017) (SR-NYSE-2016-87).
    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 81176 (July 20,
2017), 82 FR 34728 (July 26, 2017) (SR-NYSE-2017-33).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In order to reduce the potential for confusion regarding which
version of the rule governs, the Exchange added explanatory preambles.
In particular, the following preamble was added to Dealings and
Settlements, Rule 235, Rule 236 and Rule 257:
    ``This version of . . . will remain operative until the Exchange
files separate proposed rule changes as necessary to establish the
operative date of . . ., to delete this version of . . . and preamble,
and to remove the preamble text from the version of . . . . In addition
to filing the necessary proposed rule changes, the Exchange will
announce via Information Memo the operative date of the deletion of
this Rule and implementation of . . .''
    The following preamble was added to Dealings and SettlementsT, Rule
235T, Rule 236T and Rule 257T:
    ``The Exchange will file separate proposed rule changes to
establish the operative date of . . ., to delete . . . and the preamble
text from . . ., and to remove the preamble text from the version of .
. . . Until such time, . . . will remain operative. In addition to
filing the necessary proposed rule changes, the Exchange will announce
via Information Memo the implementation of this Rule and the operative
date of the deletion of . . .''
    In July 2017, the Exchange (1) deleted Rule 282.65 and Section
703.02(part2) of the Listed Company Manual; (2) deleted the preamble
and ``T'' modifier from Rule 282.65T and Section 703.02T of the Listed
Company Manual; and (3) established the operative date of Rule 282.65T
and Section 703.02T of the Listed Company Manual.\8\ As part of that
filing, the Exchange inadvertently omitted Dealings and Settlements and
Dealings and SettlementsT, Rule 235 and Rule 235T, Rule 236 and Rule
236T, and Rule 257 and Rule 257T.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 81231 (July 27,
2017), 82 FR 36008 (August 2, 2017) (SR-NYSE-2017-38).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposed Rule Change
    In order to reflect the September 5, 2017 transition to T+2
settlement in its rulebook, the Exchange proposes to:
     Delete Dealings and Settlements, Rule 235, Rule 236, and
Rule 257, including the preambles, in their entirety as obsolete;
     delete the obsolete ``T'' modifier in Dealings and
SettlementsT, Rule 235T, Rule 236T, and Rule 257T; and
     delete the preambles to Dealings and SettlementsT, Rule
235T, Rule 236T, and Rule 257T, which distinguished such rules from the
T+3 rules, as obsolete.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act,\9\ in general, and further the objectives
of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\10\ in particular, because it is
designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices,
promote just and equitable principles of trade, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In particular, the Exchange believes that the proposed changes
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market by adding clarity as to which rules are operative and when,
thereby reducing potential confusion, and making the Exchange's rules
easier to navigate. The Exchange also believes that eliminating
obsolete material from its rulebook also removes impediments to and
perfects the mechanism of a free and open market by removing confusion
that may result from having obsolete material in the Exchange's
rulebook. The Exchange believes that eliminating such obsolete material
would not be inconsistent with the public interest and the protection
of investors because investors will not be harmed and in fact would
benefit from increased transparency, thereby reducing potential
confusion.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change would
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed change is not
designed to address any competitive issue but rather serve to promote
clarity and consistency, thereby reducing burdens

on the marketplace and facilitating investor protection.

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

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

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

    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, it has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \11\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). As required under Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange provided the Commission with written
notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a
brief description and the 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the
Act \13\ normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date
of its filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \14\ permits the
Commission to 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. According to
the Exchange, waiver would allow the Exchange to conform the rule to
the current settlement cycle and eliminate outdated references to the
T+3 settlement cycle without undue delay. The Commission believes that
the proposed rule change raises no new or novel issues and that waiver
of the operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors
and the public interest. Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the
operative delay and designates the proposal operative upon filing.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \15\ 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 change 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

Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 116

    This staff accounting bulletin (``SAB'') modifies portions of the
interpretive guidance included in the Staff Accounting Bulletin Series
in order to make the relevant interpretive guidance consistent with
current authoritative accounting and auditing guidance and Securities
and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') rules and regulations.
Specifically, the staff is updating the Series in order to bring
existing guidance into conformity with the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (``FASB'') Accounting Standards Codification (``ASC'')
Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (``ASC Topic 606'').
The FASB adopted ASC Topic 606 through its issuance of Accounting
Standards Update (``ASU'') No. 2014-09--Revenue from Contracts with

    The following describes the changes made to the Staff Accounting
Bulletin Series that are presented at the end of this release:

1. Topic 13: Revenue Recognition

    a. Topic 13 is no longer applicable upon a registrant's adoption of
ASC Topic 606. This topic provided the staff's views regarding then-
existing general revenue recognition guidance as codified in ASC Topic
605. ASC Topic 606 provides a single set of revenue recognition
principles governing all contracts with customers and supersedes the
existing revenue recognition framework in ASC Topic 605, which
eliminates the need for Topic 13. Additionally, upon adoption of ASC
Topic 606, a registrant should no longer look to the guidance in
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 23507 and Accounting and Auditing
Enforcement Release No. 108, In the Matter of Stewart Parness (``AAER
108''), for criteria to be met in order to recognize revenue when
delivery has not occurred (commonly referred to as ``bill-and-hold'')
as ASC Topic 606 provides specific guidance for bill-and-hold
arrangements.\3\ Prior to adoption of ASC Topic 606, registrants should
continue to refer to prior Commission and staff guidance on revenue
recognition topics.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Release No. 33-10402.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Topic 8: Retail Companies

    a. Topic 8 is no longer applicable upon a registrant's adoption of
ASC Topic 606. This topic provided the staff's views regarding (i) the
prohibition of presenting sales of a leased or licensed department
within a retailer's statement of comprehensive income consistent with
the principles codified within ASC Subtopic 605-45 and (ii) the
disclosure of finance charges imposed by retailers on credit sales. ASC
Topic 606 provides guidance regarding the identification of performance
obligations in a contract with a customer, presentation of revenue as a
principal (on a gross basis)

or as an agent (on a net basis) as well as presentation of the effects
of financing in the statement of comprehensive income, which eliminates
the need for the guidance in Topic 8. Prior to adoption of ASC Topic
606, registrants should continue to refer to prior Commission and staff
guidance on revenue recognition topics.

3. Topic 11: Miscellaneous Disclosure

    a. Topic 11.A is modified to clarify that revenues from operating-
differential subsidies presented under a revenue caption should be
presented separately from revenue from contracts with customers
accounted for under ASC Topic 606. Previously, Topic 11.A provided the
staff's view that revenues from operating-differential subsidies be
presented as a separate line item in the income statement either under
a revenue caption or as credit in the costs and expenses section.
    Accordingly, the staff hereby amends the Staff Accounting Bulletin
Series as follows:

C. Impact of a Registrant's Adoption of FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue
From Contracts With Customers

    Topic 13 is no longer applicable upon a registrant's adoption of
ASC Topic 606. Topic 13 provides the staff's views regarding the
general revenue recognition guidance codified in ASC Topic 605. ASC
Topic 606 provides a single set of revenue recognition principles
governing all contracts with customers and supersedes the revenue
recognition framework in ASC Topic 605, which eliminates the need for
Topic 13. Prior to adoption of ASC Topic 606, registrants should
continue to refer to prior Commission and staff guidance on revenue
recognition topics.

the principles codified within ASC Subtopic 605-45 and (ii) the
disclosure of finance charges imposed by retailers on credit sales. ASC
Topic 606 provides guidance regarding the identification of performance
obligations in a contract with a customer, presentation of revenue as a
principal (on a gross basis) or as an agent (on a net basis) as well as
presentation of the effects of financing in the statement of
comprehensive income, which eliminates the need for the guidance in
Topic 8. Prior to adoption of ASC Topic 606, registrants should
continue to refer to prior Commission and staff guidance on revenue
recognition topics.

Topic 11.A. Operating-Differential Subsidies

    Facts: Company A has received an operating-differential subsidy
pursuant to the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, as amended.
    Question: How should such subsidies be displayed in the statement
of comprehensive income?
    Interpretive Response: Revenue representing an operating-
differential subsidy under the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, as amended,
must be set forth as a separate line item in the statement of
comprehensive income either under a revenue caption presented
separately from revenue from contracts with customers accounted for
under ASC Topic 606 or as a credit in the costs and expenses section.
