IV. Commission Findings and
Accelerated Approval
After careful consideration, the
Commission finds 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 14 and, in
particular, the requirements of section 6
of the Act.15 Specifically, the
Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with section
6(b)(5) of the Act,16 which requires,
among other things, that the rules of a
national securities exchange be
designed 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.
Surveillance
The Commission notes that Exchange
has represented that it has an adequate
surveillance program in place for
options based on Commodity Pool
Units. The Exchange may obtain trading
information via the Intermarket
Surveillance Group (‘‘ISG’’) from other
exchanges who are members or affiliates
of the ISG and has entered into
numerous comprehensive surveillance
sharing agreements with various
commodity futures exchanges
worldwide. Prior to listing and trading
options on Commodity Pool Units, the
Exchange represented that it will either
have the ability to obtain specific
trading information via ISG or through
a comprehensive surveillance sharing
agreement with the exchange or
exchanges where the particular
commodity futures and/or options on
commodity futures are traded. In
addition, the Exchange represented that

limits 17 or margin.
section 6(b)(5) of the Act,22 to approve
the proposal, as amended, on an
accelerated basis.
Listing and Trading of Options on
Commodity Pool Units
The Commission notes that, pursuant
to the proposed rule change, a
Commodity Pool Unit will be subject to
the provisions of NYSE Arca Rule 5.3
and 5.4, as applicable. These provisions
include requirements regarding initial
and continued listing standards, the
creation/redemption process for
Commodity Pool Units, and trading
halts. All Commodity Pool Units must
be traded through a national securities
exchange or through the facilities of a
national securities association, and must
be ‘‘NMS stock’’ as defined under Rule
600 of Regulation NMS.18
The Commission believes that this
proposal is necessary to enable the
Exchange to list and trade options on an
expanding range of Commodity Pool
Units currently approved for trading
and that it is reasonable to expect other
types of Commodity Pool Units to be
introduced for trading in the future.
This proposal would help ensure that
the Exchange will be able to list options
on Commodity Pool Units that have
been recently launched as well as any
other similar Commodity Pool Units
that may be listed and traded in the
future 19 thereby offering investors
greater option choices.
The Commission finds good cause,
pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the Act,20
for approving the proposed rule change,
as amended, prior to the thirtieth day
after the date of publication of notice in
the Federal Register. The Commission
notes that the proposal is consistent
with the Exchange’s listing and trading
standards in NYSE Arca Rules 5.3 and
5.4 and the Commission has recently
approved a similar proposal, after
publishing it for a full comment period
and receiving no comments.21 The
Commission does not believe that the
proposed rule change, as amended,
raises novel regulatory issues.
Consequently, the Commission believes
that it is appropriate to permit investors
to benefit from the flexibility afforded
by trading these products as soon as
possible.
Accordingly, the Commission finds
that there is good cause, consistent with

[Public Notice 5869]
Notice of Receipt of Application for a
Presidential Permit for Pipeline
Facilities To Be Constructed,
Operated, and Maintained on the
Borders of the United States
Department of State.
The Department of State has received
an application from Eagle Operating Inc.
(‘‘Eagle’’) for a Presidential permit,
pursuant to Executive Order 13337 of
April 30, 2004, to construct, connect,
operate, and maintain a 3-inch diameter
water pipeline at the U.S.-Canadian
border, at Burke County, North Dakota,
for the purpose of transporting water
produced in association with crude oil
and natural gas production in
Saskatchewan, Canada to a disposal
facility located in Burke County, North
Dakota. Eagle seeks this authorization in
connection with its Lakeview Pipeline
Expansion Project (‘‘Lakeview’’).
According to Eagle’s application, the
new pipeline is designed to transport
salt water produced in association with
crude oil and natural gas production
from Eagle’s Florence South Horizontal
5–1–1–1 W2M well (‘‘Florence Well’’),
and other wells to be drilled in the area,
located in the Province of
Saskatchewan, Canada, to Eagle’s
disposal facility at its Schmidt Estate
Well #1–36SWD located in Burke
County, North Dakota.
Eagle is a corporation organized under
the laws of the State of North Dakota.
Eagle’s business address is P.O. Box
853, Kenmare, North Dakota 58746.
According to the application, Eagle
operates approximately 193 oil and gas
wells located in the State of North

Dakota. As part of these operations,
Eagle is the operator of approximately
13 wells utilized for the disposal of salt
water produced in association with oil
and gas production in the State of North
Dakota. Eagle is also the owner of oil
and gas leasehold interests located in
the Province of Saskatchewan, Canada,
including the Florence Well. The
Florence Well was completed as a
producer of oil and gas on or about
August 10, 2006. The Florence Well is
operated by Colonia Energy Corp.
(‘‘Colonia’’). Colonia owns 45 percent of
the well and Eagle owns 55 percent of
the well. Eagle has asserted in its
application that if this application for
Presidential permit is approved and the
expansion of its existing pipeline is
ultimately built, it is likely that Colonia
will participate in the line and
ownership in the pipeline will be
identical to that of the Florence Well (45
percent Colonia and 55 percent Eagle).
According to the description in
Eagle’s application, the proposed new
border crossing would consist of
approximately five-hundred (500) feet of
3-inch diameter pipeline on the U.S.
side of the international boundary,
which would be buried below ground
level. The proposed new section of pipe
will run from the international
boundary to connect to the existing 2inch diameter pipe connected to the
Schmidt Estate #1–36 Well. The new
pipeline would become part of the
Lakeview Pipeline System.
As required by E.O. 13337, the
Department of State is circulating this
application to concerned federal
agencies for comment. In accordance
with Section 102(C) of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4332(C)) and
implementing regulations promulgated
by the Council on Environmental
Quality (40 CFR parts 1500–1508) and
the Department of State (22 CFR part
161), including in particular 22 CFR
161.7(c)(1), the Department of State
intends to prepare an environmental
assessment (EA) to determine if there
are any potential significant impacts
and to address alternatives to the
proposed action.

welcomes public comment and invites
those who are interested in submitting
