DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2017-0104]

Petition for Extension of Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice that on September 20, 2022,
Caltrain petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for an
extension of a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the
Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR part 238,
Passenger Equipment Safety Standards. The relevant FRA Docket Number is
FRA-2017-0104.
    Specifically, Caltrain seeks to extend its waiver of compliance
from a portion of 49 CFR 238.113(a)(2), Emergency window exits, for the
Caltrain Electric Multiple Unit restroom car. The Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant restroom facility extends from the
exterior side door to nearly the centerline of the car, thus precluding
the placement of the emergency window exit in this quadrant of the car
in the lower main level. Caltrain states that it believes the intent of
the emergency window requirement is met, as the position of the window
provides the

closest practical fulfillment of the location requirements, without
otherwise compromising access to either the emergency window exit or
the ADA restroom facility. Additionally, Caltrain explains passengers
have ready access to the exterior side door with a clear opening of 51
inches. However, because the design does not meet the literal
interpretation of ``each end (half) of the car,'' Caltrain is
requesting to extend its waiver of this requirement for this restroom
car for the life of the equipment.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment and a public hearing, they
should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the comment period and
specify the basis for their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be submitted at http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting
comments.
    Communications received by December 20, 2022 will be considered by
FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after that date
will be considered if practicable. Anyone can search the electronic
form of any written communications and comments received into any of
our dockets by the name of the individual submitting the comment (or
signing the document, if submitted on behalf of an association,
business, labor union, etc.). Under 5 U.S.C. 553(c), the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) solicits comments from the public to
better inform its processes. DOT posts these comments, without edit,
including any personal information the commenter provides, to
www.regulations.gov, as described in the system of records notice (DOT/
ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at https://www.transportation.gov/privacy. See also https://www.regulations.gov/privacy-notice for the

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-60643; File No. 4-590]

Securities Lending and Short Sale Roundtable

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Notice of roundtable discussion; request for comment.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission will host a one and a half day roundtable to
solicit the views of investors, issuers, financial services firms,
self-regulatory organizations and the academic community regarding
securities lending and short sales. The roundtable will include a
comprehensive overview of securities lending and also analyze possible
short sale pre-borrowing requirements and additional short sale
disclosures.
    The roundtable discussion will be held in the auditorium of the
Securities and Exchange Commission headquarters at 100 F Street, NE.,
in Washington, DC on September 29, 2009 from 9:30 a.m. to approximately
4 p.m. (securities lending) and September 30, 2009 from 9:30 a.m. to
approximately 12:30 p.m. (pre-borrowing and possible additional short
sale disclosures). The public is invited to observe the roundtable
discussion. Seating will be available on a first-come, first-served
basis. The roundtable discussion also will be available via Web cast on
the Commission's Web site at http://www.sec.gov.
    The roundtable will consist of panels focused on securities lending
and possible short sale pre-borrowing requirements and additional short
sale disclosures. The panelists will consider a range of securities
lending topics, such as current lending practices and participants,
compensation arrangements and conflicts, the benefits and risks of
securities lending, risks related to cash collateral reinvestment,
improvements to transparency, and consideration of whether the
securities lending regulatory regime can be improved for the benefit of
investors. The panelists will also consider short sale disclosure
topics, such as whether investors would benefit from adding a short
sale indicator to the tapes to which transactions are reported for
exchange-listed securities, and requiring public disclosure of
individual large short positions. In addition, the panelists will
evaluate the potential impact of imposing a pre-borrow or enhanced
``locate'' requirement on short sellers, potentially on a pilot basis,
as a way to curtail abusive ``naked'' short selling.

DATES: The roundtable discussion will take place on September 29, 2009
(securities lending) and September 30, 2009 (pre-borrowing and possible
additional short sale disclosures). The Commission will accept comments
regarding issues addressed in the roundtable discussion until October
30, 2009.

Background and Purpose

    The Sandy Hook Pilots Association through the New York/New Jersey
Harbor Safety Committee has requested the Coast Guard reduce the size
of federal anchorage ground 27(ii) near Romer Shoal located between
Ambrose and Swash Channels. The proposed eastern boundary of anchorage
ground 27(ii) would move the eastern boundary about 2,860 yards to the
west (inshore). The revised anchorage ground would be bound by the
following points: 40[deg]28'28.9'' N, 073[deg]56'46.0'' W; thence to
40[deg]29'48.1'' N, 073[deg]56'46.0'' W; thence to 40[deg]31'23.2'' N,
074[deg]00'51.0'' W; thence to 40[deg]32'11.5'' N, 074[deg]01'39.3'' W;
thence to 40[deg]32'12.4'' N, 074[deg]02'04.6'' W; thence to
40[deg]31'28.5'' N, 074[deg]02'05.0'' W; thence to 40[deg]30'14.2'' N,
074[deg]00'05.0'' W; thence to the point of origin (NAD 83).

Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Sandy Hook Pilots have observed foreign flag vessels, inbound
via the New York Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS), proceeding through
the Precautionary Area and the charted pilot area, sometimes at unsafe
speeds of up to 18 knots to anchor in the eastern portion of this
anchorage ground. The anchorage ground with charted water depths of
between 39-63 feet, has obstructions which have the potential to create
a grounding situation to certain types of vessels attempting to

anchor there. The Sandy Hook Pilots report that the majority of these
foreign flag vessel masters lack the local knowledge required to move
to this anchorage without pilot assist and language barriers make it
difficult for the pilots to communicate the potential danger to their
vessel. As stated, these ships are proceeding at greater speeds for
longer periods of time since they are not embarking a pilot enroute
this anchorage ground. This also creates hazardous conditions with
other vessels slowing down to embark and disembark pilots in the
adjacent offshore pilot area. Additionally, during periods of low
visibility the presence of an anchored ship in this rarely used section
of the anchorage may cause tight passing conditions between tugs and
their tows and larger recreational vessels entering or departing the
port. Moving the eastern boundary of this anchorage ground to the west
will reduce vessel congestion in the area and enhance transit safety
for vessels into and out of the Port of NY/NJ.

Regulatory Evaluation

    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.
    This finding is based on the fact that the proposed change conforms
to the changing needs of commercial vessels and increasing commercial
vessel traffic within the Port of NY/NJ.

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. This proposed rule would affect the following
entities, some of which might be small entities: The owners or
operators of vessels intending to transit through the charted Pilot
Area to anchor in the eastern end of anchorage ground 27(ii). This
revised anchorage ground would not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities for the following reason:
These vessels would still be able to anchor in the northeastern
quadrant of the Precautionary Area as they have been for several years
now while awaiting orders, dock space, or inshore anchorage for
conducting lightering, bunkering, crew transfer, or other necessary
vessel operations. 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
rule would affect your small business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or
options for compliance, please contact LCDR Michael McBrady at 718-354-
2353. 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.

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.

[Docket No. CP14-97-000]

Carolina Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Availability of
the Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Edgemoor Compressor
Station Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the
Edgemoor Compressor Station Project (Project) proposed by Carolina Gas
Transmission Corporation (Carolina Gas) in the above-referenced docket.
Carolina Gas states that the Project would provide about 45,000
dekatherms of natural gas per day to two local distribution customers
from Transcontinental Pipe Line Corporation's system.
    The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of construction
and operation of the Edgemoor Compressor Station Project in accordance
with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act. The
FERC staff concludes that approval of the proposed Project, with
appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a major federal
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
    The proposed Edgemoor Compressor Station Project consists of the
following facilities all in Chester County, South Carolina:
     Construction of one new compressor station consisting of
four natural gas fired compressor units totaling 9,500 horsepower;
     construction of the Cone Mills Lateral Extension which
consists of about 1,300 feet of 8-inch-diameter pipeline; and
     construction and modification of various ancillary
facilities.
    The FERC staff mailed copies of the EA to federal, state, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes;
potentially affected landowners and other interested individuals and
groups; newspapers and libraries in the Project area; and parties to
this proceeding. In addition, the EA is available for public viewing on
the FERC's Web site (www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link. A limited
number of copies of the EA are available for distribution and public
inspection at: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Public Reference
Room, 888 First Street NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, (202) 502-
8371.
    Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. Your comments
should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable
alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts.
The more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. To
ensure that the Commission has the opportunity to consider your
comments prior to making its decision on this project, it is important
that we receive your comments in Washington, DC on or before November
15, 2014.
    For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to file
your comments with the Commission. In all instances please reference
the project docket number (CP14-97-000) with your submission. The
Commission encourages electronic filing of comments and has expert
staff available to assist you at<PHONE_NUMBER> or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    (1) You can file your comments electronically using the eComment
feature on the Commission's Web site (www.ferc.gov) under the link to
Documents and Filings. This is an easy method for submitting brief,
text-only comments on a project;
    (2) You can also file your comments electronically using the
eFiling feature on the Commission's Web site (www.ferc.gov) under the
link to Documents and Filings. With eFiling, you can provide comments
in a variety of formats by attaching them as a file with your
submission. New eFiling users must first create an account by clicking
on ``eRegister.'' You must select the type of filing you are making. If
you are filing a comment on a particular project, please select
``Comment on a Filing''; or
    (3) You can file a paper copy of your comments by mailing them to
the following address: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC
20426.
    Any person seeking to become a party to the proceeding must file a
motion to intervene pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedures (18 CFR 385.214).\1\ Only intervenors have the
right to seek rehearing of the Commission's decision. The Commission
grants affected landowners and others with environmental concerns
intervenor status upon showing good cause by stating that they have a
clear and direct interest in this proceeding which no other party can
adequately represent. Simply filing environmental comments will not
give you intervenor status, but you do not need intervenor status to
have your comments considered.

comments.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; BATS Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend
BATS Rule 11.9(c)(12), entitled ``Destination Specific Order''

April 2, 2010.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on March 30, 2010, BATS Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
``BATS'') 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 Exchange. The Exchange
has designated this proposal as a ``non-controversial'' proposed rule
change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder,\4\ which renders it effective upon filing with
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

    The Exchange is proposing to amend BATS Rule 11.9(c)(12), entitled
``Destination Specific Order.''
    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
Web site at http://www.batstrading.com, on the Commission's Web site at
http://www.sec.gov, 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 parts of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to provide an additional
option to Users of the Exchange with respect to the designation of a
``Destination Specific Order''. Destination Specific Orders are market
or limit orders that are routed by BATS to an away trading center after
first being exposed to the BATS order book (``BATS Book''). As
currently written, the Rule 11.9(c)(12) requires the specification of a
particular away trading center to which an order will route after
checking the BATS Book. Accordingly, BATS currently offers Users
options to route to a single trading center designated by the User
after first being exposed to the BATS Book. For instance, a User can
currently send an order that first checks the BATS Book for liquidity
and then routes to the New York Stock Exchange. The Exchange also
currently offers Users with the option to send a ``Modified Destination
Specific Order,'' defined in BATS Rule 11.9(c)(13), which routes to one
or more away trading centers without first checking the BATS Book. The
only form of Modified Destination Specific Order currently offered by
the Exchange routes to multiple Alternative Trading Systems disclosed
by the Exchange prior to checking the BATS Book (referred to by the
Exchange as a ``Dark Scan'' order). Although the identity of the
Alternative Trading Systems to which a Dark Scan order may route is
disclosed to Exchange Users, Users cannot designate the specific
Alternative Trading System or Systems, but rather, rely on the
Exchange's smart order router to determine the Alternative Trading
System or Systems to which the order will be routed and the order of
such routing.
    The proposed rule change is being submitted by the Exchange so that
BATS can offer Users the additional option to designate an order to
route to various undisclosed Alternative Trading Systems selected by
the Exchange after first being exposed to the BATS Book (a ``BATS +
DART Order''). Accordingly, as amended, a User will be able to
designate an order that will first check the BATS Book for liquidity
and then be routed to one or to multiple Alternative Trading Systems
with which the Exchange has connections. Similar to a Dark Scan order,
a User will not be able to designate any specific Alternative Trading
System or Systems to which the order will be routed, but rather, the
Exchange will make the routing decisions with respect to any BATS +
DART Order that is not filled on the Exchange. Orders that are not
executed in full after routing away would continue to be processed by
the Exchange as described in BATS Rule 11.13(a)(2).
    The Exchange is not proposing at this time to add functionality
that would allow Users to designate multiple specific venues to which
an order will route. Rather, a Destination Specific Order will continue
to refer to an order that first checks the Exchange for liquidity and
then routes to a specific venue or venues, with the only choice of
multiple venues being the undisclosed list of Alternative Trading
Systems offered through the DART routing program. Users that wish to
have the Exchange first attempt to execute an order on the BATS Book
and, if not executed, then route to multiple different venues,
including Alternative Trading Systems, can use the Exchange's general
best execution routing strategies, DART and CYCLE, but cannot
specifically identify the venues to which the Exchange will route.
    As occurs today, the routing performed in connection with this
proposed change will be conducted by an affiliate of the Exchange, BATS

Trading, Inc. (the ``Outbound Router''), which is regulated as a
facility of the Exchange (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Act),\5\
subject to Section 6 of the Act.\6\ The role and functions of the
Outbound Router are set forth in BATS Rule 2.11, which has previously
been approved by the Commission. Routing of Destination Specific Orders
under this proposed amendment will be subject to the same requirements
as other orders routed by the Outbound Router, which are contained in
Rule 2.11. Accordingly, the Exchange believes that routing of
Destination Specific Orders under this proposed amendment continues to
be consistent with the previously approved functions of the Outbound
Router, and the Exchange does not believe that such functions are
expanded through this proposed amendment.

2. Statutory Basis
    Approval of the rule change proposed in this submission 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.\7\ In particular, the proposed change is consistent with
Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\8\ because it would 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, protect investors and the public interest. Specifically,
the Exchange believes that the proposed amendment to the Destination
Specific Order will enhance order execution opportunities for market
participants by allowing such participants to access, at a potentially
reduced fee, pools of liquidity in addition to orders resting on the
Exchange.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change imposes
any burden on competition.

B. 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 written comments on
the proposed rule change.

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

    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 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 \9\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) 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
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 the
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 so that
the proposal may become operative immediately upon filing. The Exchange
states that the proposed rule change does not significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest and does not impose any
significant burden on competition. In addition, the Exchange believes
that the proposed rule change is consistent with other rules of the
Exchange previously approved by the Commission, including (1) the
Exchange's Modified Destination Specific Order \13\ and (2) Rule 2.11,
which governs the Outbound Router of the Exchange.

    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \13\ See BATS Rule 11.9(c)(13).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest.
The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay will
immediately provide market participants with additional choices in
order execution and access to additional pools of liquidity. For these
reasons, the Commission designates the proposed rule change as
operative upon filing.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has considered the proposed rule change'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 may summarily abrogate such rule change if it
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

ii. 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

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

General Comment:To Whom It May Concern:

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

The Proposed Rule raises a number of significant issues and questions that are important and relevant to me, as a consumer of the products that are proposed for regulation under the Proposed Rule. The Proposed Rule asks about a hundred different questions I might want to respond to. I want to provide my thoughts and comments on many of these issues, but my time to devote to researching and providing thoughtful comments on these important questions is limited. I have already spent many hours researching and dissecting these issues, but they take time. I am a business owner here in the State of Texas, and my time is very valuable as it stands, so I need more time to direct full attention to the questions as stated in the Proposed Rule. I know that the FDA took many years to even come up with the Proposed Rule, so I do not think it is at all unreasonable to allow the public a mere six months to comment on it. This is our only opportunity, as consumers, to provide our feedback to you the regulatory body.

I feel very strongly about e-cigarettes as an alternative to combustible cigarettes. Quite simply, I firmly believe that they saved the lives of both my wife and myself. We have been tobacco free for nearly 5 months now, and I feel that we truly could not live without these products. I wish to provide you with my entire personal story, as well as science- and evidence-based responses to your questions so that you can take my comment into account. I realize that the FDA has the authority under 21 CFR 10.40 to extend this time frame and that the FDA has exercised this authority on numerous occasions in the past. I would therefore ask that you do so here, so that all stakeholders have the opportunity to provide their comments on this proposed regulation.

I appreciate your consideration of my request and am happy to discuss this issue with you further.
