SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-82924; File No. SR-NYSEArca-2018-18]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend the
Certificate of Incorporation

March 22, 2018.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act''),\2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that, on March 12, 2018, NYSE Arca, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
``NYSE Arca'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, which Items have been prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend the Certificate of Incorporation of
NYSE Arca, Inc. (the ``Certificate'') to make a technical change
updating the registered office and registered agent in the state of
Delaware. 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 amend the Certificate to make a technical
change updating the registered office and registered agent in the state
of Delaware.
    The Exchange is a corporation organized under the laws of the State
of Delaware. As such, it is required to have and maintain a registered
office and registered agent in Delaware.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Del. Code tit 8, Sec. Sec.  131 and 132.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Article 2 of the Certificate sets forth 1209 Orange Street in the
City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, as the address of the
registered office in the State of Delaware, and provides that the name
of its registered agent at such address is The Corporation Trust
Company. The Exchange proposes to amend the Certificate to identify
United Agent Group Inc. as the registered agent, and to provide that
the address of the registered office is 3411 Silverside Road, Tatnall
Building No. 104, Wilmington, County of New Castle, Delaware 19810.
    Pursuant to Delaware law,\5\ the Certificate is amended by filing a
``State of Delaware Certificate of Change of Registered Agent and/or
Registered Office,'' as set forth in Exhibit 5 to the proposed rule
change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Del. Code tit 8, Sec.  133.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The change is a non-substantive technical administrative change.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Exchange Act \6\ in general, and with Section
6(b)(1) \7\ in particular, in that it enables the Exchange to be so
organized as to have the capacity to be able to carry out the purposes
of the Exchange Act and to comply, and to enforce compliance by its
exchange members and persons associated with its exchange members, with
the provisions of the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations
thereunder, and the rules of the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change is a non-substantive administrative change
that does not impact the governance or ownership of the Exchange. The
Exchange believes that the proposed rule change would enable the
Exchange to continue to be so organized as to have the capacity to
carry out the purposes of the Exchange Act and comply and enforce
compliance with the provisions of the Exchange Act by its members and
persons associated with its members, because ensuring that the
Certificate identifies the registered agent and registered office in
Delaware would contribute to the orderly operation of the Exchange by
adding clarity and transparency to its rules and complying with
Delaware requirements for corporations to have such agent and office.
    For similar reasons, the Exchange also believes that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\8\ in that
it is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and
practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating
transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change would remove
impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and
a national market system by ensuring that market participants can more
easily navigate, understand and comply with its rules. The Exchange
believes that, by ensuring that such rules accurately identify the
registered agent and registered office in Delaware, the proposed rule
change would reduce potential investor or market participant confusion.

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. The proposed rule
change is not designed to address any competitive issue but rather is
concerned solely with making a technical change updating the registered
office and registered agent of the Exchange.

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

    The proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(3) \10\ thereunder in that
the proposed rule change is concerned solely with the administration of
the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may 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 under Section
19(b)(2)(B) \11\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be approved or disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Write-Your-Own (WYO) Program
Financial Assistance/Subsidy Arrangement (Arrangement), 85 (as of June
2013) private sector property insurers sell flood insurance policies
and adjust flood insurance claims under their own names based on an
Arrangement with the Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration
(FIMA) published at 44 CFR part 62, Appendix A.
    The WYO insurers retain an expense allowance and remit the
remaining premium to the Federal Government. The Federal Government
pays flood losses and pays loss adjustment expenses based on a fee
schedule. In addition, under certain circumstances reimbursement for
litigation costs, including court costs, attorney fees, judgments, and
settlements, are paid by

FEMA based on documentation submitted by the WYO insurers.
    The complete Arrangement is published in 44 CFR part 62, Appendix
A. Each year, FEMA is required to publish in the Federal Register and
make available to the Companies the terms for subscription or re-
subscription to the Arrangement. 44 CFR part 62, Appendix A, Article

the requirements of this Arrangement and of the NFIP Financial Control
Plan, 44 CFR part 62, Appendix B. The NFIP WYO Standards Committee may
take remedial action in the event any such conduct is not corrected.
    FEMA will send a copy of the offer for the FY 2014 Arrangement,
together with related materials and submission instructions, to all
private insurance companies participating under the current FY 2013
Arrangement.
    Any private insurance company not currently participating in the

BILLING CODE 9110-11-P


The following table provides EPA’s current estimates of the number of
applicators and applications of pesticides that fall within pesticide
use patterns that result in the application of pesticides to and over,
including near, waters of the United States. The information has not
undergone peer review, and EPA intends to update these estimates as
additional data become available.

There are two main limitations to the data provided.  First, there is
not a direct source of information on the number of applicators and
applications made for these pesticide use patterns.  As a result, the
estimates were derived from secondary sources of information, and
generalizing assumptions were sometimes made. The second limitation is
that the definition of an application and an applicator is derived from
the best available data by use pattern.  Therefore the definition may be
different by use pattern. More detail, by pesticide use pattern, is
provided in the calculation notes.

Following the table is a listing of information sources used in EPA’s
estimation of the number of pesticide applicators and applications.
Information sources are listed by pesticide use pattern.

NPDES Applicator & Application Estimates

Use Patterns	Number of Applicators	Number of Applications	Calculation
Notes

Mosquito Adulticides	1,200	461,450	There are 400 mosquito abatement
districts and approximately 800 other public agencies that apply
mosquito control pesticides--it is assumed that each represents an
applicator.  There were 103 million acre-treatments with insecticides in
2005 (99 million for adulticides and 4 million for larvicides). Assuming
that 77% of adulticide applications are made by ground and 23% are made
by air and that an average adulticide application by ground covers 180
acres and that an adulticide application by air covers 600 acres, there
are an estimated 461,450 annual adulticide applications.

Mosquito Larvicides	1,200	18,800	There are 400 mosquito abatement
districts and approximately 800 other public agencies that apply
mosquito control pesticides--it is assumed that each represents an
applicator.  There were 103 million acre-treatments with insecticides in
2005 (99 million for adulticides and 4 million for larvicides). Assuming
that 77% of larvicide applications are made by ground and 23% are made
by air and that an average larvicide application by ground covers 180
acres and that a larvicide application by air covers 600 acres, there
are an estimated 18,800 annual larvicide applications.

Aquatic Weed Control - Lakes and Ponds 	23,200	4,524,000	OPP data show
approximately 23,200 applicators holding certification in the aquatic
category.  The estimate of applications to lakes, ponds, irrigation
systems and waterways is the result of 23,200 multiplied by 1
application per day over 195 work days (5 work days per week multiplied
by 39 weeks [9 months of the year]), which equals 4,524,000 applications
per year. EPA cannot determine what applications are made to each site,
so one overall number has been calculated for all aquatic weed control
in lakes, ponds, irrigation systems, and waterways.

Aquatic Weed Control - Irrigation Systems and Waterways 	See Aquatic
Weed Control - Lakes and Ponds	See Aquatic Weed Control - Lakes and
Ponds	See Aquatic Weed Control - Lakes and Ponds

Aquatic Weed Control – Ditchbanks	330,000	660,000	About 15%, or
330,000, of 2.2 million U.S. farms are irrigated. EPA assumes that each
farm is treated twice per year.  This does not account for types of
irrigation.

Aquatic Nuisance Animal Control	Not Available	Not Available	Includes use
of pesticides for the control of fish, lampreys, and mollusks.  EPA
currently does not have an estimate of the number of applicators and
applications within this use pattern.

Wide Area Pest Control - Insects	170	5,000	Based on grasshopper & Mormon
cricket control. Estimate of 5 million acres treated with a minimum of
1,000 acres per application.  This is a low estimate because it does not
include east of the Mississippi, and parts of west. Number of
applicators is based on NAAA survey estimate of available aircraft.

Wide Area Pest Control - Invasive Weeds	5,000	10,000	Herbicides are
usually not feasible for control of large wide area infestations. They
are most likely used to control and/or eradicate smaller newer
infestations. Applicators may be individual landowners or government
agencies. No data is available for number of applicators and
applications, but EPA estimates that there are at least 5,000
applicators and 10,000 applications, and that these estimates may be
low.

Forestry	4,500	4,500	There are 5,175 tracts of forest in the U.S. and
2.7 million acres of forest are treated per year. Assuming that an
average pesticide application to forests is 600 acres (based on NAAA
survey), the number of applications is calculated as the number of acres
treated per year divided by the number of acres treated per application.
It is assumed that the 4,500 applications are evenly distributed across
the 5,175 forest tracts, thus it is assumed that there is one applicator
per treated tract. The estimate of the number of applications and
applicators may be low because data are not available on pesticides
applied by ground.
