Shipping Coordinating Committee; Notice of Meeting, 56684-56685 [E9-26317]

Download as PDF 56684 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 210 / Monday, November 2, 2009 / Notices A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b–4(f)(6) normally does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the filing.18 However, pursuant to Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii),19 the Commission may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal may become operative immediately upon filing. The Exchange notes that the proposed rule change is substantially similar to a proposal submitted by another options exchange that was recently approved by the Commission and also incorporates a change to the initial expansion date filed by the other exchange. The Exchange further states that waiving the 30-day operative delay will allow the Pilot Program to continue uninterrupted and allow Nasdaq to adopt the same expansion schedule as other exchanges. For these reasons, the Commission designates the proposal to be operative upon filing with the Commission. The Commission believes waiving the 30-day operative delay 20 is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest because such waiver will allow Nasdaq to implement the 75 additional classes on November 2, 2009 and permit the Pilot Program to continue uninterrupted, consistent with other exchanges.21 For these reasons, the Commission designates the proposal to be operative upon filing with the Commission. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate 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. srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES IV. Solicitation of Comments Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and arguments concerning the foregoing, to file the proposed rule change along with a brief description and the 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 pre-filing requirement. 18 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 19 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). 20 For the purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay, the Commission has considered the proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation.

CPR has certified that: (1) No local traffic has moved over the line for at least 2 years; (2) all overhead traffic can and has been rerouted over other lines; (3) no formal complaint filed by a user of rail service on the line (or by a state or local government entity acting on behalf of such user) regarding cessation of service over the line either is pending with the Surface Transportation Board PO 00000 Frm 00116 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 56685 (Board) or with any U.S. District Court or has been decided in favor of complainant within the 2-year period; and (4) the requirements at 49 CFR 1105.7 (environmental report), 49 CFR 1105.8 (historic report), 49 CFR 1105.11 (transmittal letter), 49 CFR 1105.12 (newspaper publication), and 49 CFR 1152.50(d)(1) (notice to governmental agencies) have been met. As a condition to this exemption, any employee adversely affected by the abandonment shall be protected under Oregon Short Line R. Co.— Abandonment—Goshen, 360 I.C.C. 91 (1979). To address whether this condition adequately protects affected employees, a petition for partial revocation under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) must be filed. Provided no formal expression of intent to file an offer of financial assistance (OFA) has been received, this exemption will be effective on December 2, 2009, unless stayed pending reconsideration.
