SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-663, OMB Control No. 3235-0724]

For Submission; Comment Request

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE,
Washington, DC 20549-2736

Extension:
    Supplier Diversity Business Management System

    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 summarized below.
    The Commission is required under Section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street and Reform Act to develop standards and processes for ensuring
the fair inclusion of women-owned and minority-owned businesses in all
of the Commission's business activities. In addition, the Commission is
required to develop standards for coordinating technical assistance to
minority-owned and women-owned businesses. 12 U.S.C. 5452(b)(2)(B). To
help implement these requirements, the Office of Minority and Women
Inclusion (OMWI) developed and maintains an electronic Supplier
Diversity Business Management System (SDBMS) to collect up-to-date
business information and capabilities statements from diverse suppliers
interested in doing business with the Commission. The information
collected in SDBMS assists the Commission with its market research
efforts, enables the Commission to assess the effectiveness of its
technical assistance and outreach efforts and identify target areas for
additional program efforts, and facilitates the Commission's compliance
with its Congressionally-mandated reporting obligations on the
Commission's contract awards.
    The Commission invited comments on SDBMS. Information is collected
in SDBMS via web-based, e-filed, dynamic form-based technology. The
company point of contact completes a profile consisting of basic
contact data and information on the capabilities of the business. The
profile includes a series of questions, some of which are based on the
data that the individual enters. Drop-down lists are included where
appropriate to increase ease of use.
    The information collection is voluntary. There are no costs
associated with this collection. SDBMS allows suppliers to self-
register via a secure web portal that is accessible through a hyperlink
on the Commission's public website.
    Estimated number of annual responses: 300.
    Estimated annual reporting burden: 150 hours (30 minutes per
submission).
    Other than a recent decrease in the number of respondents,
presumably due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the estimated number of
respondents overall remains the same at 300 per year, based on the
actual response rate prior to the pandemic. As such, the total burden
estimate also remains the same at 150 hours.
    On May 11, 2021, the Commission published a notice in the Federal
Register (86 FR 25931) of its intention to request an extension of this
currently approved collection of information, and

allowed the public 60 days to submit comments. The Commission received
no comments.
    Written comments continued to be invited on: (a) Whether this
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected;
and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology.
    The public may view background documentation for this information
collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Find this
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice
to (i) www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain and (ii) David Bottom,
Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission,
c/o Cynthia Roscoe, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or by
sending an email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Comments must be submitted to
OMB within 30 days of this notice.

    Dated: July 15, 2021.

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

    The NYSE is filing with the Commission rules previously approved in
order to secure a one-year extension of the pilot program (from August
1, 2007 until July 31, 2008) reflected in the changes embodied in SR-
NYSE-2006-13, which was approved by the Commission on December 12, 2006
on a pilot basis, to expire on July 31, 2007.\5\ The previously
approved changes to NYSE Rule 431 (``Margin Requirements'') expanded
the scope of products that are eligible for treatment as part of the
original Commission-approved portfolio margin pilot program \6\ and
expanded pilot; \7\ eliminated the $5 million equity requirement,
except for accounts that carry unlisted derivatives; and eliminated the
use of a cross-margin account for margining eligible securities
products with eligible commodity products. The approved pilot rules
also deleted the ``Sample Portfolio Margining and Cross Margining Risk
Disclosure Statement to Satisfy Requirements of Exchange Rule 431(g),''
previously found in NYSE Rule 726 (``Delivery of Options Disclosure
Document and Prospectus'').\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    There is no change to the rule text with this proposed rule change.
The text of the proposed rule change is available at the NYSE's Web
site (http://www.nyse.com), at the principal office of the NYSE, 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. 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
    The Exchange is proposing to extend for one year the portfolio
margin pilot program,\9\ which has been expanded to make the following
products eligible for treatment under portfolio margin requirements:
all margin equity securities,\10\ listed options, unlisted derivatives,
and security futures products, provided certain requirements are met.
The Exchange believes that the benefits which these regulations
deliver, together with the widespread industry acceptance of the
changes, supports a one year extension of the pilot program. Such an
extension will give the Exchange an opportunity to better gauge the
impact of the changes to the credit profile of its member organizations
and to determine whether changes to the pilot are needed. The Exchange
will also seek to determine whether fixed income securities should be
added to the list of eligible products.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See supra note 5.
    \10\ The term ``margin equity security'' utilizes the definition
at Section 220.2 of Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, excluding a non-equity security.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change will facilitate the continuing evaluation
of the portfolio margin pilot. The Exchange believes that the proposed
rule change is non-controversial, given the extensive prior publication
of the portfolio margining rules, their previous approval in pilot
status, the lack of problematic public comment on prior filings, and
the lack of comment on the December 2006 approval of the pilot
program.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See supra note 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

a. The Original Pilot
    On July 14, 2005, the Commission approved the original portfolio
margin rules that amended Exchange Rules 431 and 726 to permit, on a
two-year pilot basis, the use of a prescribed risk-based methodology
\12\ for listed, broad-based U.S. index options and index warrants,
along with any underlying instruments, as an alternative to the
strategy or position based margin requirements,\13\ currently required
in Rule 431(a) through (f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See supra note 6.
    \13\ Prior to the portfolio margin pilot, member organizations
were solely subject, pursuant to NYSE Rule 431, to strategy or
positioned-based margin requirements. This methodology applied
specific margin percentage requirements as prescribed in Rule 431 to
each security position and/or strategy, either long or short, held
in a customer's account, irrespective of the fact that all security
(e.g., options) prices do not change equally (in percentage terms)
with a change in the price of the underlying security. When
utilizing a portfolio margin methodology, offsets are fully
realized, whereas under strategy or position-based methodology,
positions and/or groups of positions comprising a single strategy
are margined independently of each other and offsets between them do
not efficiently impact the total margin requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

b. Portfolio Margin Requirements
    Portfolio margining is a margin methodology that sets margin
requirements for an account based on the greatest projected net loss of
all positions in a product class or group. The pilot utilizes a
Commission-approved theoretical options pricing model.\14\ These
scenarios are designed to measure the theoretical loss of the positions
given changes in both the underlying price and implied volatility
inputs to the model. Accordingly, the margin required is based on the
greatest loss that would be incurred in a portfolio if the value of its
components move up or down by a predetermined amount. Member
organizations are no longer required to compute a margin requirement
for each individual position or strategy for eligible positions in a
customer's portfolio margin account.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ The theoretical options pricing model is used to derive
position values at each valuation point for the purpose of
determining the gain or loss. For purposes of the portfolio margin
pilot, the amount of initial and maintenance margin required with
respect to a portfolio is the larger of: (1) The greatest loss
amount among the valuation calculations; or (2) the sum of $.375 for
each option and security future in the portfolio multiplied by the
contract's (e.g. 100 shares per contract) or instrument's
multiplier.
    \15\ See NYSE Rule 431.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Utilizing portfolio margin enables the portfolio to be subjected to
certain preset market volatility parameters that reflect historical
moves in the underlying security thereby assessing potential loss in
the portfolio in the aggregate. Accordingly, such a methodology
provides a more risk based calculation of margin requirements.
    As a pre-condition to permitting portfolio margining, member
organizations are required to establish

comprehensive procedures and controls to monitor credit risk to the
member organization's capital, including intra-day credit risk and
stress testing of portfolio margin accounts. Further, member
organizations must establish procedures for regular review and testing
of these required risk analysis procedures and controls.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See NYSE Rule 431(g).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

c. Expanded Pilot
    On December 29, 2005, the Exchange filed with the Commission a
proposed rule change to Rule 431 to expand the approved products for
certain customers eligible for treatment under portfolio margin
requirements to include security futures and single stock options.\17\
Collectively, these approved pilot rules are referred to as the
``Expanded Pilot.'' \18\ The Expanded Pilot was noticed for comment in
the Federal Register on January 23, 2006.\19\ The comment period that
ended February 13, 2006, resulted in three comment letters received,
dated February 13, 2006, from the Securities Industry Association,
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and the Futures Industry Association.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ The Exchange and CBOE received letters in late September
2005 from SEC Chairman Cox asking the SROs to consider expanding
portfolio margining to a broader universe of products. The SEC
encouraged the Exchanges to file a rule proposal before year-end
2005.
    \18\ The discussion under the ``Expanded Pilot'' section
includes the portfolio margin rules, as expanded to include security
futures and single stock options only. This discussion does not
include the portfolio margin rules as approved by the Commission in
December 2006. See Sections I and II.A.1. for a discussion of the
portfolio margin rules as approved in December 2006; see also supra
note 5.
    \19\ See Exchange Act Release No. 53126 (January 13, 2006) 71 FR
3586 (January 23, 2006) [SR-NYSE-2005-93].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On June 2, 2006 the Exchange filed with the Commission a response
to the comment letters. In its response to comments, the Exchange noted
that many of the comments included in these three letters were
addressed in a subsequent rule filing, SR-NYSE-2006-13 \20\ that was
made by the Exchange with the Commission on March 1, 2006.
Specifically, in SR-NYSE-2006-13, the Exchange proposed the elimination
of the cross-margin account and the expansion of the types of eligible
products that could be included in a portfolio margining account.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ See Exchange Act Release No. 53577 (March 30, 2006) 71 FR
17539 (April 6, 2006) [SR-NYSE-2006-13].
    \21\ See supra note 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On July 11, 2006, the Commission approved the Expanded Pilot \22\
to include listed security futures and listed single stock options as
eligible products for customer portfolio margining.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ See supra notes 7 and 18.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the section 6(b) of the Act,\23\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of section 6(b)(5) \24\ of the Act, in particular, because
it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, and, in
general, to protect investors and the public interest. A one-year
extension of the portfolio margin pilot program is consistent with this
section in that it will enable the Exchange to better judge the
operation and benefit of the rules, which in turn are expected to
better align margin requirements with the actual risk of hedged
products, potentially alleviate excess margin calls and potentially
reduce the risk of forced liquidations of positions in customer
accounts. In addition, it will allow the Exchange to study the impact
of these changes to the credit profile of its member organizations.

    \24\ 15 U.S.C. 78(f)(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Exchange Act.

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

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

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

    Because the foregoing rule change does not: (i) Significantly
affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose
any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2010-0045; Directorate Identifier 2009-NM-085-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Model 747-100, 747-
100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400,
747-400D, 747-400F, 747SR, and 747SP Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Model 747 airplanes. This proposed AD would require inspecting
to verify the part number of the low-pressure flex-hoses of the crew
oxygen system installed under the oxygen mask stowage boxes in the
flight deck, and replacing the flex-hose with a new non-conductive low-
pressure flex-hose if necessary. This proposed AD results from reports
of low-pressure flex-hoses of the crew oxygen system that burned
through due to inadvertent electrical current from a short circuit in
the audio select panel. We are proposing this AD to prevent inadvertent
electrical current, which can cause the low-pressure flex-hoses of the
crew oxygen system to melt or burn, causing oxygen system leakage and
smoke or fire.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by March 8, 2010.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    We have received reports of low-pressure flex-hoses of the crew
oxygen system that burned through due to inadvertent electrical current
from a short circuit in the audio select panel on a Model 757 airplane.
An electrical current went through the support structure to the flight
crew mask stowage box and through the low-pressure oxygen hose. This
caused the spring inside the low-pressure oxygen hose to act as an
electrical conductor and heat up, causing the hose to burn through.
This condition, if not corrected, could result in the low-pressure
flex-hose of the crew oxygen system melting or burning, causing oxygen
system leakage and smoke or fire.

Relevant Service Information

    We have reviewed Boeing Service Bulletin 747-35A2101, Revision 1,
dated May 15, 2003. The service bulletin describes procedures for
replacing the existing low-pressure flex-hoses of the crew oxygen
system installed under the oxygen mask stowage boxes in the flight deck
with new non-conductive low-pressure flex-hoses of the oxygen system.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of these same type
designs. This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions
specified in the service information described previously, except as
discussed under ``Differences Between the Proposed AD and the Service
Bulletin.''

Differences Between the Proposed AD and the Service Bulletin

    Although Boeing Service Bulletin 747-35A2101, Revision 1, dated May
15, 2003, recommends accomplishing the replacement ``at the earliest
opportunity when manpower, material and facilities are available,'' we
have determined that this imprecise compliance time would not address
the identified unsafe condition in a timely manner. In developing an
appropriate compliance time for this proposed AD, we considered not
only the manufacturer's recommendation, but the degree of urgency
associated with addressing the subject unsafe condition, the average
utilization of the affected fleet, and the time necessary to perform
the modifications. In light of all of these factors, we find a
compliance time of 36 months for completing the required actions to be
warranted, in that it represents an appropriate interval of time for
affected airplanes to continue to operate without compromising safety.
This difference has been coordinated with Boeing.

Other Rulemaking

    The oxygen mask installations on certain Model 737, 757, and 767
airplanes are almost identical to those on the affected Model 747
airplanes. Therefore, all of these airplanes may be subject to the
identified unsafe condition. We are considering similar rulemaking
related to the identified unsafe condition for certain Model 737, 757,
and 767 airplanes.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 211 airplanes of
U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour
per product to comply with this proposed AD. The average labor rate is
$80 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this
proposed AD to the U.S. operators to be $16,880, or $80 per product.

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.
    We are 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

    We 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. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979), and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    You can find our regulatory evaluation and the estimated costs of
compliance in the AD Docket.
