SUMMARY: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is adopting final rules to specify the exclusive procedures under which designated contract markets (DCMs), derivatives clearing organizations (DCOs) and derivatives transaction execution facilities (DTEFs) (collectively, ‘‘regulated entities’’) may request confidential treatment for products and rules submitted via certification procedures or for Commission review and approval under parts 40 and 41 of the Commission’s regulations. The amendments also revise the Commission’s part 145 regulations under the Freedom of Information Act by providing that the confidential treatment procedures specified in section 145.9 do not apply to information filed by regulated entities pursuant to parts 40 and 41.

Electronic mail: snathan@cftc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background A. Procedural History On July 20, 2007, the Commission requested comment from the public regarding its proposal to establish in part 40 of its regulations the exclusive procedure to be followed by regulated entities when requesting confidential treatment for information they are PO 00000 Frm 00022 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 required to submit under parts 40 and 41 of the Commission’s regulations,1 and to clarify the standards under which requests for confidential treatment will be considered.2 Three commenters responded to this proposal: the CME Group (‘‘CME’’), CBOE Futures Exchange (‘‘CFE’’) and the New York Mercantile Exchange (‘‘NYMEX’’).3 While CFE generally supported the proposal, CME and NYMEX questioned the merits of the proposed amendments and the adequacy of the Commission’s explanation for proposing the changes. In light of the CME and NYMEX comments, the Commission re-proposed the rule amendments in order to (1) Clarify the procedure for seeking review of an adverse determination; (2) amend Commission regulation 145.9 to make clear that that process for requesting confidential treatment under the Commission’s Freedom of Information Act regulations does not apply to submissions filed pursuant to parts 40 and 41; and (3) address more fully the reasons for proposing the amendments. The Federal Register release announcing the re-proposal fully addressed the substantive issues raised by the commenters and invited additional public comment on one issue raised by NYMEX: whether the Commission should honor requests for confidential treatment of algorithms or similar trading tools that are mechanisms for executing transactions.4 CME submitted comments on this matter. B. Confidential Treatment of Trading Mechanisms 1. Comments: Confidential Treatment of Information Made Public by Statute or Rule The Commodity Exchange Act (‘‘CEA’’) and regulations promulgated thereunder require that substantial portions of the material filed pursuant to Parts 40 and 41 be made publicly available by the submitters. Section 1 Part 40 of the Commission’s regulations, 17 CFR part 40, specifies the standards and procedures to be followed by regulated entities for listing products for trading by certification to the Commission; voluntary submission of new products for Commission review and approval; amendments to terms or conditions of enumerated agricultural contracts; voluntary submission of rules for Commission review and approval; and self certification of rules by DCMs and DCOs. Part 41, 17 CFR part 41, contains the standards and procedures for filing required information with respect to security futures products. 2 72 FR 39764. 3 In August 2008, subsequent to the Commission’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in this matter, CME and NYMEX completed a merger. As a result, NYMEX is currently a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of CME Group, Inc. 4 73 FR 44939 (Aug. 1, 2008). E:\FR\FM\15APR1.SGM 15APR1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On January 13, 2009, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace at Omaha, NE, 
adding additional controlled airspace at Blair Municipal Airport, 
Blair, NE. (74 FR 1651, Docket No. FAA-2008-1228). Interested parties 
were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting 
written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. 
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 
Order 7400.9S signed October 3, 2008, and effective October 31, 2008, 
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR Part 71.1. The Class E 
airspace designations listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in that Order. With the exception of editorial changes, 
and the changes described above, this rule is the same as that proposed 
in the NPRM.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
Part 71 by amending Class E airspace at Omaha, NE, adding additional 
controlled airspace at Blair Municipal Airport, Blair, NE. This action 
also updates s the geographic coordinates for Eppley Airfield, Offutt 
Air Force Base, and Council Bluffs Municipal Airport, to coincide with 
the National Aeronautical Charting Office.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an 
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. 
Therefore, this regulation: (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) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation 
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter 
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is 
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is 
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106, describes 
the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation 
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority. 
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in 
Subtitle VII, Part A,

[[Page 17392]]

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with 
prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to 
ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This 
regulation is within the scope of that authority as it adds additional 
controlled airspace at Blair Municipal Airport, Blair, NE.
