Appendices to Agricultural Swaps— Commission Voting Summary and Statements of Commissioners Note: The following appendices will not appear in the Code of Federal Regulations Appendix 1—Commission Voting Summary On this matter, Chairman Gensler and Commissioners Dunn, Sommers, Chilton and O’Malia voted in the affirmative; no Commissioner voted in the negative. Appendix 2—Statement of Chairman Gary Gensler SUMMARY: This document describes a correction to final regulations (TD 9475) that were published on Friday, December 18, 2009 (74 FR 67053). The regulations provide guidance regarding the qualification of certain transactions as reorganizations described in section 368(a)(1)(D) where no stock and/or securities of the acquiring corporation is issued and distributed in the transaction. This document also contains final regulations under section 358 that provide guidance regarding the determination of the basis of stock or securities in a reorganization described in section 368(a)(1)(D) where no stock and/or securities of the acquiring corporation is issued and distributed in the transaction. This document also contains final regulations under section 1502 that govern reorganizations described in section 368(a)(1)(D) involving members of a consolidated group. DATES: This correction is effective on August 10, 2011 and is applicable on December 18, 2009. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bruce A. Decker, (202) 622–7790 (not a toll-free number). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I support the final rulemaking to authorize agricultural swap transactions and subject them to the same rules applicable to all other swaps transactions. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) prohibits such transactions if the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) does not specifically authorize them. The public comments the CFTC received overwhelmingly supported treating agricultural swaps the same as other swaps brought under regulation by the DoddFrank Act. Agricultural producers, processers, merchants and handlers will benefit from the ability to use agricultural swaps to hedge their risk and from the transparency of the Dodd-Frank Act. Background The final regulations (TD 9475) that are the subject of this document are under sections 358, 368 and 1502 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The drawbridge operation regulations are listed at 33 CFR 117.219(b). The operator of the bridge, Metro North Railroad, requested a temporary deviation from the regulations to facilitate scheduled bridge maintenance, miter rail repair, at the bridge. The waterway users are recreational vessels and commercial lobster boats. The Metro North (Peck) Bridge rarely opens for vessel traffic. The bridge has received no requests to open during the past two years except for bridge testing and repairs. Under this temporary deviation the Metro North (Peck) Bridge may remain in the closed position from August 22, 2011 through November 30, 2011. Vessels that can pass under the bridge in the closed position may do so at all times. The waterway users were advised of the requested bridge closure and offered no objection. In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the bridge must return to its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. Dated: July 29, 2011 Gary Kassof, Bridge Program Manager, First Coast Guard District.

Wright, Program Manager, Docket Operations, telephone 202–366–9826. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Regulatory Information 33 CFR Part 165 VerDate Mar<15>2010 between Featherbed Bank and the Rickenbacker Causeway Bridge. All vessels within the RNA are: required to transit the RNA at no more than 15 knots; subject to control by the Coast Guard; and required to follow the instructions of all law enforcement vessels in the area. This RNA is necessary to ensure the safe transit of vessels and to protect the marine environment. Jkt 223001 The legal basis for the rule is the Coast Guard’s authority to establish regulated navigation areas (RNAs) and limited access areas: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 46 U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR 1.05–1, 6.04–1, 6.04–6, 160.5; Public Law 107–295, 116 Stat. 2064; Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1. The purpose of the rule is to ensure the safe transit of vessels in the area and PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 49301 to protect all persons, vessels, and the marine environment. Discussion of Rule This rule designates an RNA encompassing all waters within one nautical mile of the center of the Intracoastal Waterway from Featherbed Bank extending 14 nautical miles north to the Rickenbacker Causeway Bridge in Miami, Florida. The RNA will be enforced daily from 12:01 p.m. until 11:59 p.m. on the Saturday and Sunday of the second week in October (Columbus Day weekend) each year. All vessels within the RNA are: (1) Required to transit the area at no more than 15 knots; (2) subject to control by the Coast Guard; and (3) required to follow the instructions of all law enforcement vessels in the area. The RNA is necessary to ensure the safety of the public. The close proximity of numerous vessels transiting that portion of the Intracoastal Waterway encompassed within the RNA during Columbus Day weekend poses a hazardous condition. The RNA will result in the transiting of vessels at a safer speed, thereby significantly reducing the threat of vessel collisions. Requiring vessels within the RNA to transit at no more than 15 knots will also enable law enforcement officials to identify, respond to, query, and stop operators who may pose a hazard to other vessels in the area. Nothing in this regulation alleviates vessels or operators from complying with all other Federal, state, and local laws in the area, including manatee slow speed zones. Regulatory Analyses We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders. Executive Order 12866 and Executive Order 13563 This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as supplemented by Executive Order 13563, and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not reviewed it under that Order. The economic impact of this rule is not significant for the following reasons: (1) The RNA will be in effect for only two days each year; (2) although during the enforcement period vessels will be required to transit the RNA at no more than 15 knots, be subject to control by E:\FR\FM\10AUR1.SGM 10AUR1
