IV. Commission’s Findings and Order
Granting Accelerated Approval of
Proposed Rule Change
After careful review, the Commission
finds that the proposed rule change, as
amended, is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder, applicable
to a national securities exchange.16 In
particular, the Commission believes that
the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,17 which
requires among other things, that the
rules of the Exchange are designed 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. The
Commission notes that the proposal
does not alter the obligations of Phlx XL
participants, except for the fact that it
will reduce specialists and Phlx XL
participants that receive directed orders
continuous quoting obligation from
100% of the series in each option in
which it is assigned to 99% of the series
in each option in which it is assigned.
The Commission notes that this
reduction should provide specialists
and Phlx XL participants that receive
directed orders a brief amount of time
to update their quotes after the Risk
Monitor Mechanism removes their
quotes from the Exchange’s
disseminated quotation. In addition, the
Commission believes that the proposed
rule change should provide Phlx XL
participants assistance in effectively
managing their quotations.
The Phlx has requested that the
Commission find good cause for
approving the proposed rule change
prior to the thirtieth day after
publication of notice thereof in the
Federal Register. The Commission notes
that similar proposals to provide
protection from risk for market makers
have been approved for other options
exchanges.18 The Commission believes
that granting accelerated approval of the
proposal should provide Phlx XL
participants with similar protections
from the risk associated with an
excessive number of near simultaneous
executions in a single options class.
Accordingly, the Commission finds
good cause, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)
16 In approving this proposal, the Commission has
considered its impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).

increasing average age of the general
aviation fleet. Particular emphasis will
be given to actions that have potential
to mitigate the inevitable effects of
fatigue, corrosion, and deterioration on
aging general aviation airplanes.
DATES: The public meeting will be held
March 22–23, 2006, starting at 8 a.m.
each day, in Kansas City, Missouri.
Registration will begin at 8 a.m. on the
first day of the meeting.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Participation at the Public Meeting
Submit requests to present a
statement at the public meeting to Mr.
Marv Nuss as listed in the section titled
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
rmajette on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES
above. The FAA should receive your
requests to present oral statements at the
public meeting no later than 10 days
prior to the meeting. Include a written
summary of oral remarks you would like
to present and the estimated time
needed for your presentation. Requests
received after the date specified above
will be scheduled during the meeting if
time allows; however, the names of
those individuals may not appear on the
written agenda. The FAA will prepare
an agenda of speakers available at the
meeting. To accommodate as many
speakers as possible, the amount of time
allocated to each speaker may be less
than the amount of time requested.
Those persons desiring to have
audiovisual equipment available should
notify the FAA when they request
placement on the agenda.
Background
The average airplane in the general
aviation fleet of the United States is
approximately 35 years old. We expect
the average age to continue to rise. By
the year 2020, the average general
aviation airplane will be almost 50 years
old. In 1991, Congress mandated that
the FAA establish an Aging Aircraft
Program to focus on age-related
structural problems for the air carrier
fleet. Congress specifically excluded
general aviation (GA) aircraft from the
mandate. However, the FAA determined
that as the GA fleet gets older, there is
also concern about ensuring the
continued airworthiness of these
airplanes. The diversity of the fleet
makes dealing with continued
airworthiness difficult. The wide variety
of designs and uses poses problems
unique to GA.
In 2000, the FAA held a public
meeting on this subject. Ideas were
exchanged and FAA worked with
industry to institute several initiatives.
However, since that meeting there have
been GA fatal accidents caused by the
effects of airplane aging. There have also
been primary component failures
caused by the effects of airplane aging
that were discovered before catastrophic
failure. The FAA is taking a more
proactive role in managing the risk
associated with continued
airworthiness. The FAA is concerned
about issues such as service difficulty
experiences and reporting, modification

and inspection programs, and continued
field support from type certificate
holders.
The FAA has determined that in the
interest of the public we should hold a
public meeting on this subject to share
information and gather additional data.
Accordingly, the FAA will conduct this
public meeting in Kansas City, Missouri.
The FAA anticipates that the agency,
industry, and the general public will use
the public meeting as a forum to share
information, resolve questions, and
discuss potential solutions concerning
the continued airworthiness of older
general aviation airplanes.
Public Meeting Procedures
The FAA has established the
following procedures for this meeting:
1. Admission and participation in the
public meeting are free. The meeting
will be open to all persons who have
requested in advance to present
statements or who register on the first
day of the meeting (between 8 a.m. and
8:30 a.m.). Time availability for
presentations and seating will be made
according to the order of reservation.
2. Representatives from the FAA will
conduct the public meeting. A technical
panel of FAA personnel will discuss
information presented by participants.
3. The public meeting is intended as
a forum to share information and
resolve questions concerning the
continued airworthiness of older general
aviation airplanes. Those sharing
information will include industry, the
general public, and operators of general
aviation aircraft. Participants must limit
their presentations to the issue of
continued airworthiness of older general
aviation airplanes.
4. All interested parties will have the
opportunity to present any additional
information not currently available to
the FAA. The FAA will then have the
opportunity to explain the methodology
and technical assumptions supporting
its current observations.
5. FAA personnel, industry, and
public participants may engage in a full
discussion of all technical material
presented at the meeting. Anyone
presenting conclusions will be expected
to submit their supporting data to the
FAA.
6. The FAA will try to accommodate
all speakers. Time may be limited for
each presentation.
7. Sign and oral interpretations will
be made available at the meeting,
including assistive listening devices, if
requested 15 calendar days before the
meeting.
8. A court reporter will record the
meeting (except for any breakout
sessions). Any person interested in

purchasing a copy of the transcript
should contact the court reporter
directly. This information will be

9. The FAA will review and consider
all material presented by participants at
the public meeting. Position papers or
material presenting views or
information related to the subject of the
meeting may be accepted at the
discretion of the presiding officer. The
FAA requests that persons participating
in the meeting provide 10 copies of all
materials to be presented for
distribution to the panel members; other
copies may be provided to the audience
at the discretion of the participant.
10. Statements made by FAA
personnel are intended to facilitate
discussion of the issues or to clarify
issues.
11. The meeting is designed to share
information and solicit public views
and additional information. The
meeting will be conducted in an
informal and nonadversarial manner.
