AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD)
for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an airworthiness
authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The earlier MCAI, Brazilian
Airworthiness Directive 2007-08-02, effective September 27, 2007,
describes the unsafe condition as:

    Fuel system reassessment, performed according to RBHA-E88/SFAR-
88 (Regulamento Brasileiro de Homologacao Aeronautica 88/Special
Federal Aviation Regulation No. 88), requires the inclusion of new
maintenance tasks in the Critical Design Configuration Control
Limitations (CDCCL) and in the Fuel System Limitations (FSL),
necessary to preclude ignition sources in the fuel system. * * *

    The new MCAI, Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2009-08-03,
effective August 20, 2009, describes the unsafe condition as:

    An airplane fuel tank systems review required by Special Federal
Aviation Regulation Number 88 (SFAR 88) and ``RBHA Especial
N[uacute]mero 88'' (RBHA E 88) has shown that additional maintenance
and inspection instructions are necessary to maintain the design
features required to preclude the existence or development of an
ignition source within the fuel tanks of the airplane.

    We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective September 9, 2010.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of September 9,
2010.
    On July 30, 2008 (73 FR 35904, June 25, 2008), the Director of the
Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain
publication listed in this AD.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov or in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor,
Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to
amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified
products. That supplemental NPRM was published in the Federal Register
on March 23, 2010 (75 FR 13689), and proposed to supersede AD 2008-13-
14, Amendment 39-15577 (73 FR 35904, June 25, 2008). That NPRM proposed
to require revision of the airworthiness limitations section of the
Instructions for Continued Airworthiness to incorporate new limitations
for fuel tank systems. The earlier MCAI, Brazilian Airworthiness
Directive 2007-08-02, effective September 27, 2007, describes the
unsafe condition as:

    Fuel system reassessment, performed according to RBHA-E88/SFAR-
88 (Regulamento Brasileiro de Homologacao Aeronautica 88/Special
Federal Aviation Regulation No. 88), requires the inclusion of new
maintenance tasks in the Critical Design Configuration Control
Limitations (CDCCL) and in the Fuel System Limitations (FSL),
necessary to preclude ignition sources in the fuel system. * * *

    The new MCAI, Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2009-08-03,
effective August 20, 2009, describes the unsafe condition as:

    An airplane fuel tank systems review required by Special Federal
Aviation Regulation Number 88 (SFAR 88) and ``RBHA Especial
N[uacute]mero 88'' (RBHA E 88) has shown that additional maintenance
and inspection instructions are necessary to maintain the design
features required to preclude the existence or development of an
ignition source within the fuel tanks of the airplane.

    The corrective action is revising the Airworthiness Limitations
Section (ALS) of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) to
incorporate new limitations for fuel tank systems. You may obtain
further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comments received.

Request To Allow Service Bulletin for Compliance

    ExpressJet Airlines and EMBRAER request that we revise the
supplemental NPRM to consider Parker Service Bulletin 367-934-28-110,
Revision A, dated December 19, 2006, as documentation for past
compliance with the inspections and functional checks of the safe-life
features.
    ExpressJet reports that, since early 2007, Parker has been
referencing this service bulletin (by marking the inspected units with
the service bulletin number and date of accomplishment) to show
compliance with these inspections.
    EMBRAER notes that the fuel conditioning unit (FCU) and the ventral
fuel conditioning unit (VFCU) are manufactured by Parker. To clarify
which checks and inspections are to be performed on the FCU and VFCU,
and ensure that the safe-life features are maintained, Parker has
published Component Maintenance Manuals (CMMs) 28-41-36, Revision 4,
dated March 13, 2009; 28-41-69, Revision 2, dated March 13, 2009; and
28-41-80, dated April 3, 2009. Parker also issued Test Manual (TM)
4213-025, ``Identicallity of Testing Performed--EMB-145 FCU CMM 28-41-
XX/Service Bulletin 367-934-28-110 for EMB-145 FAMILY--Fuel
Conditioning Units,'' Revision A, dated October 13, 2009. EMBRAER
states that the purpose of the TM is to describe the identicality of
the testing performed on EMB-145 FCUs returned under the current
service bulletin to the CMMs. The TM substantiates that all CUs already
in compliance with the 10,000-flight-hour inspection in accordance with
Parker Service Bulletin 367-934-28-110 have had the equivalent
inspection to the safe-life testing required in the CMMs. EMBRAER
reports that, when an FCU is returned to the field after having the
service bulletin incorporated, the unit is returned to the customer
with an FAA 8130-3 tag indicating that Parker Service Bulletin 367-934-
28-110 was accomplished, and the FCU is also marked accordingly.
    We agree with the request and the commenters' rationale. We have
added a provision to this AD to consider FCUs inspected by Parker and
marked with the service bulletin number and the date of accomplishment
to be in compliance with the requirements of paragraph (g)(1) of this
AD.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD with the changes described previously. We determined that these
changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or
increase the scope of the AD.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable in a U.S. court of
law. In making these changes, we do not intend to differ substantively

from the information provided in the MCAI and related service
information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences
are described in a separate paragraph of the AD. These requirements, if
any, take precedence over the actions copied from the MCAI.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this AD affects
about 41 products of U.S. registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 2008-13-14 and retained in this
AD take about 1 work-hour per product, at an average labor rate of $85
per work hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the
currently required actions is $85 per product.
    We estimate that it takes about 1 work-hour per product to comply
with the new basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate is
$85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the
AD on U.S. operators to be $3,485, or $85 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 AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866;
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD Docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly
after receipt.

Adoption of the Amendment

0
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator,
the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

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

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Amendment 39-15577 (73 FR
35904, June 25, 2008) and adding the following new AD:

2010-16-01 Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER):
Amendment 39-16377. Docket No. FAA-2008-1079; Directorate Identifier
2008-NM-116-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective
September 9, 2010.

Affected ADs

    (b) This AD supersedes AD 2008-13-14, Amendment 39-15577.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A.
(EMBRAER) Model EMB-135ER, -135KE, -135KL, and -135LR airplanes, and
Model EMB-145, -145ER, -145MR, -145LR, -145XR, -145MP, and -145EP
airplanes; certificated in any category; except for Model EMB-145LR
airplanes modified according to Brazilian Supplemental Type
Certificate 2002S06-09, 2002S06-10, or 2003S08-01.

    Note 1: This AD requires revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new inspections. Compliance with
these inspections is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes
that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in the
areas addressed by these inspections, the operator may not be able
to accomplish the inspections described in the revisions. In this
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must
request approval for an alternative method of compliance according
to paragraph (h) of this AD. The request should include a
description of changes to the required inspections that will ensure
the continued operational safety of the airplane.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 28: Fuel.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI),
Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2007-08-02, effective September
27, 2007, states:
    Fuel system reassessment, performed according to RBHA-E88/SFAR-
88 (Regulamento Brasileiro de Homologacao Aeronautica 88/Special
Federal Aviation Regulation No. 88), requires the inclusion of new
maintenance tasks in the Critical Design Configuration Control
Limitations (CDCCL) and in the Fuel System Limitations (FSL),
necessary to preclude ignition sources in the fuel system. * * *
    The MCAI, Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2009-08-03,
effective August 20, 2009, states:
    An airplane fuel tank systems review required by Special Federal
Aviation Regulation Number 88 (SFAR 88) and ``RBHA Especial
N[uacute]mero 88'' (RBHA E 88) has shown that additional maintenance
and inspection instructions are necessary to maintain the design
features required to preclude the existence or development of an
ignition source within the fuel tanks of the airplane.
    The corrective action is revising the Airworthiness Limitations
Section (ALS) of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA)
to incorporate new limitations for fuel tank systems.

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

    (2) After accomplishing the actions specified in paragraphs
(g)(1) of this AD, no alternative inspections or inspection
intervals may be used unless the inspections or intervals are
approved as an AMOC in accordance with the procedures specified in
paragraph (h)(1) of this AD.

Explanation of CDCCL Requirements

    Note 2: Notwithstanding any other maintenance or operational
requirements, components that have been identified as airworthy or
installed on the affected airplanes before the revision of the ALS
of the ICA, as required by paragraph (f)(3) of this AD, do not need
to be reworked in accordance with the CDCCLs. However, once the ALS
of the ICA has been revised, future maintenance actions on these
components must be done in accordance with the CDCCLs.

FAA AD Differences

    Note 3: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows:
    (1) The applicability of Brazilian AD 2009-08-03, effective
August 20, 2009, includes Model EMB-135BJ airplanes. This AD does
not include that model because that model is included in the
applicability of FAA AD 2008-13-15, Amendment 39-15578. We are
considering further rulemaking to revise AD 2008-13-15.
    (2) Although Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2009-08-03,
effective August 20, 2009, specifies both revising the airworthiness
limitations and repetitively inspecting, this AD only requires the
revision. Requiring a revision of the airworthiness limitations,
rather than requiring individual repetitive inspections, requires
operators to record AD compliance status only at the time they make
the revision, rather than after every inspection. Repetitive
inspections specified in the airworthiness limitations must be
complied with in accordance with 14 CFR 91.403(c).

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (h) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Branch, ANM-116, FAA, has the authority to approve
AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR
39.19. Send information to ATTN: Todd Thompson, Aerospace Engineer,
International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA,
1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 98057-3356; telephone 425-
227-1175; fax<PHONE_NUMBER>. Before using any approved AMOC on any
airplane to which the AMOC applies, notify your principal
maintenance inspector (PMI) or principal avionics inspector (PAI),
as appropriate, or lacking a principal inspector, your local Flight
Standards District Office. The AMOC approval letter must
specifically reference this AD.
    (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain
corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered
FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority
(or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product
is airworthy before it is returned to service.
    (3) Reporting Requirements: For any reporting requirement in
this AD, under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has
approved the information collection requirements and has assigned
OMB Control Number 2120-0056.

II. Background

    Federal Guidance Report No. 14: Radiation Protection Guidance for
Diagnostic and Interventional X-Ray Procedures is an update to the 1976
x-ray guidance in Federal Guidance Report No. 9, which provides federal
facilities that use diagnostic and interventional x-ray equipment with
recommendations for keeping patient doses as low as reasonably
achievable without compromising the quality of patient care.
    The EPA-led Interagency Steering Committee on Radiation Standards
(ISCORS) Work Group that developed Federal Guidance Report No. 14
included medical and radiation protection professionals from EPA, the
Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Veterans
Affairs, the Department of Defense (Departments of the Army, Navy, and
Air Force), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
    On April 3, 2013, a proposed version of this guidance was published
in the Federal Register, opening a 60 day public comment period. The
ISCORS work group reviewed more than 900 comments, updating the
document to

address the feedback from the public and medical community.
    This guidance will be issued to all federal facilities that perform
diagnostic or interventional x-ray procedures. The recommendations in
this guidance are not binding on any agency, but, at an agency's
discretion, may be incorporated in whole or in part into their standard
operating procedures or orders. Likewise, EPA hopes that the states and
the private sector will find this guidance to be a useful reference,
but there is no legal obligation for them to make use of it in any way;
however, if followed, this guidance will improve the safety of
diagnostic and interventional imaging.

Guidance for Diagnostic and Interventional X-Ray Procedures (EPA 402-R-
10003, November 2014), can be accessed at http://www.epa.gov/radiation/federal/fgr-14.html.

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend NYSE MKT Rule 500--Equities to
extend the operation of the pilot program that allows ``UTP
Securities'' to be traded on the Exchange pursuant to a grant of
unlisted trading privileges. The pilot program is currently scheduled
to expire on December 31, 2014; the Exchange proposes to extend it
until the earlier of Commission approval to make such pilot permanent
or July 31, 2015. The text of the proposed rule change is available on
the Exchange's Web site at www.nyse.com, at the principal office of the
Exchange, on the Commission's Web site at www.sec.gov, 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 NYSE MKT Rule 500--Equities to
extend the operation of the pilot program that allows ``UTP
Securities'' to be traded on the Exchange pursuant to a grant of
unlisted trading privileges.\4\ The pilot program is currently
scheduled to expire on December 31, 2014; the Exchange proposes to
extend it until the earlier of Commission approval to make such pilot
permanent or July 31, 2015.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ ``UTP Securities'' is included within the definition of
``security'' as that term is used in the NYSE MKT Equities Rules.
See NYSE MKT Rule 3--Equities. In accordance with this definition,
UTP Securities are admitted to dealings on the Exchange on an
``issued,'' ``when issued,'' or ``when distributed'' basis. See NYSE
MKT Rule 501--Equities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NYSE MKT Rules 500-525--Equities, as a pilot program, govern the
trading of any ``UTP Securities'' on the Exchange pursuant to unlisted
trading privileges (``UTP Pilot Program'').\5\ The Exchange hereby
seeks to extend the operation of the UTP Pilot Program, currently
scheduled to expire on December 31, 2014, until the earlier of
Commission approval to make such pilot permanent or July 31, 2015.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 62479 (July 9,
2010), 75 FR 41264 (July 15, 2010) (SR-NYSEAmex-2010-31). See also

(July 16, 2014), 79 FR 42595 (July 22, 2014) (SR-NYSEMKT-2014-59).
The UTP Pilot Program was originally limited to securities listed on
the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (``Nasdaq Securities''), but the
Exchange recently expanded the UTP Pilot Program beyond Nasdaq
Securities. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 71952 (April 16,
2014), 79 FR 22558 (April 22, 2014) (SR-NYSEMKT-2014-32).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The UTP Pilot Program includes any security, other than a security
that is listed on the Exchange, that (i) is designated as an ``eligible
security'' pursuant to the ``UTP Plan,'' \6\ (ii) has been admitted to
dealings on the Exchange pursuant to a grant of unlisted trading
privileges in accordance with section 12(f) of the Act,\7\ and (iii) if
it is an ``Exchange Traded Product'' (``ETP'') that does not have any
component security that is listed or traded on the Exchange or the New
York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE''); provided, however, that the Invesco
PowerShares QQQTM (the ``QQQ''TM) may be admitted
to dealings on the Exchange pursuant to a grant of unlisted trading
privileges although one or more component securities of the QQQ may be
listed or traded on the Exchange or the NYSE, subject to the conditions
of Rule 504(b)(5)--Equities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ With respect to Nasdaq Securities, the term ``UTP Plan''
means the Joint Self-Regulatory Organization Plan Governing the
Collection, Consolidation and Dissemination of Quotation and
Transaction Information for Nasdaq-listed Securities Traded on
Exchanges on an Unlisted Trading Privilege Basis, as amended from
time to time, filed with and approved by the Commission. See
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 70953 (November 27, 2013), 78 FR
72932 (December 4, 2013) (File No. S7-24-89). The Exchange's
predecessor, the American Stock Exchange LLC, joined the UTP Plan in
2001. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 55647 (April 19,
2007), 72 FR 20891 (April 26, 2007) (File No. S7-24-89). In March
2009, the Exchange changed its name to NYSE Amex LLC, and, in May
2012, the Exchange subsequently changed its name to NYSE MKT LLC.
See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 59575 (March 13, 2009), 74
FR 11803 (March 19, 2009) (SR-NYSEALTR-2009-24) and 67037 (May 21,
2012), 77 FR 31415 (May 25, 2012) (SR-NYSEAmex-2012-32). With
respect to all other UTP Securities, the term ``UTP Plan'' means the
Consolidated Tape Association Plan for the Dissemination of Last
Sale Prices of Transactions in Eligible Securities, as amended from
time to time, filed with and approved by the Commission. See
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 10787 (May 10, 1974), 39 FR

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78l.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange notes that its New Market Model Pilot (``NMM Pilot''),
which, among other things, eliminated the function of specialists on
the Exchange and created a new category of market participant, the
Designated Market Maker (``DMM''),\8\ is also scheduled to end on
December 31, 2014.\9\ The timing of the operation of

the UTP Pilot Program was designed to correspond to that of the NMM
Pilot. In approving the UTP Pilot Program, the Commission acknowledged
that the rules relating to DMM benefits and duties in trading Nasdaq
Securities on the Exchange pursuant to the UTP Pilot Program are
consistent with the Act \10\ and noted the similarity to the NMM Pilot,
particularly with respect to DMM obligations and benefits \11\--the
Exchange considers the same to be true with respect to all UTP
Securities, including for ETPs that are included in the UTP Pilot
Program. Furthermore, the UTP Pilot Program rules pertaining to the
assignment of securities to DMMs are substantially similar to the rules
implemented through the NMM Pilot.\12\ The Exchange has similarly filed
to extend the operation of the NMM Pilot until the earlier of
Commission approval to make the NMM Pilot permanent or July 31,
2015.\13\

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

    Extension of the UTP Pilot Program in tandem with the NMM Pilot,
both from December 31, 2014 until the earlier of Commission approval to
make such pilots permanent or July 31, 2015, will provide for the
uninterrupted trading of UTP Securities on the Exchange on an unlisted
trading privileges basis and thus continue to encourage the additional
utilization of, and interaction with, the Exchange, and provide market
participants with improved price discovery, increased liquidity, more
competitive quotes and greater price improvement for UTP Securities.
    The proposed change is not otherwise intended to address any other
issues and the Exchange is not aware of any problems that member
organizations would have in complying with the proposed change.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange. In particular,
the Exchange believes that its proposal to extend the UTP Pilot Program
is consistent with (i) section 6(b) of the Act,\14\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\15\ in
particular, in that it is designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, 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; (ii) section
11A(a)(1) of the Act,\16\ in that it seeks to ensure the economically
efficient execution of securities transactions and fair competition
among brokers and dealers and among exchange markets; and (iii) section
12(f) of the Act,\17\ which governs the trading of securities pursuant
to unlisted trading privileges consistent with the maintenance of fair
and orderly markets, the protection of investors and the public
interest, and the impact of extending the existing markets for such
securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78k-1(a)(1).
    \17\ 15 U.S.C. 781(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Specifically, the Exchange believes that extending the UTP Pilot
Program would provide for the uninterrupted trading of UTP Securities
on the Exchange on an unlisted trading privileges basis and thus
continue to encourage the additional utilization of, and interaction
with, the Exchange, thereby providing market participants with
additional price discovery, increased liquidity, more competitive
quotes and potentially greater price improvement for UTP Securities.
Additionally, under the UTP Pilot Program, UTP Securities trade on the
Exchange pursuant to rules governing the trading of Exchange-Listed
securities that previously have been approved by the Commission.
Accordingly, this proposed rule change would permit the Exchange to
extend the effectiveness of the UTP Pilot Program in tandem with the
NMM Pilot, which the Exchange has similarly proposed to extend until
the earlier of Commission approval to make such pilot permanent or July
31, 2015.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ See supra note 13.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, the Exchange believes that it is subject to significant
competitive forces, as described below in the Exchange's statement
regarding the burden on competition. For these reasons, the Exchange
believes that the proposal is consistent with the Act.

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

    In accordance with section 6(b)(8) of the Act,\19\ the Exchange
believes that the proposed rule change would not impose any burden on
competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. The Exchange believes that extending the UTP Pilot
Program will promote competition in the trading of UTP Securities and
thereby provide market participants with opportunities for improved
price discovery, increased liquidity, more competitive quotes, and
greater price improvement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, the Exchange notes that it operates in a highly
competitive market in which market participants can readily favor
competing venues. In such an environment, the Exchange must continually
review, and consider adjusting the services it offers and the
requirements it imposes to remain competitive with other U.S. equity
exchanges. For the reasons described above, the Exchange believes that
the proposed rule change reflects this competitive environment.

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 foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \20\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \21\ thereunder
because the proposal does not: (i) Significantly affect the protection
of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden
on competition; and (iii) by its terms, become operative for 30 days
from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate if consistent with the protection of investors
and the public interest.\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \21\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \22\ 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) normally may
not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of filing.
However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \23\ 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 requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative
delay period so that the proposal may become operative before the
pilot's expiration. The Exchange stated that an immediate operative
date is necessary in order to immediately implement the proposed rule
change so that member organizations could continue to benefit from the
pilot program without interruption after December 31, 2014.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that waiver of the 30-day operative delay
period is consistent with the protection of investors and the public
interest. Specifically, the Commission believes that the proposal would
allow the pilot to continue uninterrupted, thereby avoiding any
potential investor confusion that could result from the temporary
interruption in the pilot program. For these reasons, the Commission
believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest, and designates the
proposed rule change to be operative on December 31, 2014.\24\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ For purposes only of waiving the operative delay for this
proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact
on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.\25\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(C).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Filings and Information Services, Washington, DC
20549.

Extension:
    Form N-3, SEC File No. 270-281, OMB Control No. 3235-0316.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget
(``OMB'') a request for extension of the previously approved collection
of information discussed below.
    The title for the collection of information is ``Form N-3 (17 CFR
239.17a and 274.11b) under the Securities Act of 1933 and under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, Registration Statement of Separate
Accounts Organized as Management Investment Companies.'' Form N-3 is
the form used by insurance company separate accounts organized as
management investment companies that offer variable annuity contracts
to register as investment companies under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) and/or to register their securities
under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). The primary
purpose of the registration process is to provide disclosure of
financial and other information to investors and potential investors
for the purpose of evaluating an investment in a security. Form N-3
also permits separate accounts organized as management investment
companies that offer annuity contracts to provide investors with a
prospectus containing information required in a registration statement
prior to the sale or at the time of confirmation of delivery of
securities. The form also may be used by the Commission in its
regulatory review, inspection, and policy-making roles.
    The Commission estimates that there are 2 initial registration
statements and 30 post-effective amendments to initial registration
statements filed on Form N-3 annually and that the average number of
portfolios referenced in each initial filing and post-effective
amendment is 2. The Commission further estimates that the hour burden
for preparing and filing a post-effective amendment on Form N-3 is
154.7 hours per portfolio. The total annual hour burden for preparing
and filing post-effective amendments is 9,282 hours (30 post-effective
amendments x 2 portfolios x 154.7 hours per portfolio). The estimated
annual hour burden for preparing and filing initial registration
statements is 3,690.8 hours (2 initial registration statements x 2
portfolios x 922.7 hours per portfolio). The total annual hour burden
for Form N-3, therefore, is estimated to be 12,972.8 hours (9,282 hours
+ 3,690.8 hours).
    The information collection requirements imposed by Form N-3 are
mandatory. Responses to the collection of information will not be kept
confidential. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid control number
    General comments regarding the above information should be directed
to the following persons: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office
Building, Washington, DC 20503 or e-mail to:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and (ii) R. Corey Booth, Director/Chief

Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Shirley
Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312, or send an e-
mail to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Comments must be submitted to OMB within
30 days of this notice.

    Dated: April 23, 2007.

Deputy Secretary.
