participants at the same time.16 In
addition, the Exchange will halt trading
in the Shares under the specific
circumstances set forth in NYSE Arca
Equities Rule 8.600(d)(2)(D), and may
halt trading in the Shares if trading is
not occurring in the securities and/or
the financial instruments comprising
the Disclosed Portfolio of the Fund, or
if other unusual conditions or
circumstances detrimental to the
maintenance of a fair and orderly
market are present.17 The Exchange will
consider the suspension of trading in or
removal from listing of the Shares if the
PIV is no longer calculated or available
or the Disclosed Portfolio is not made
available to all market participants at
the same time.18 The Exchange
represents that the Adviser is affiliated
with a broker-dealer, and such Adviser
has implemented a ‘‘fire wall’’ with
respect to the broker-dealer regarding
access to information concerning the
composition and/or changes to the
Fund’s portfolio.19 Further, the
Commission notes that the Reporting
Authority that provides the Disclosed
Portfolio must implement and maintain,
or be subject to, procedures designed to
prevent the use and dissemination of
material non-public information
regarding the actual components of the
16 See
NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.600(d)(1)(B).
respect to trading halts, the Exchange may
consider all relevant factors in exercising its
discretion to halt or suspend trading in the Shares
of the Fund. Trading in Shares of the Fund will be
halted if the circuit breaker parameters in NYSE
Arca Equities Rule 7.12 have been reached. Trading
also may be halted because of market conditions or
for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make
trading in the Shares inadvisable.
18 See NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.600(d)(2)(C)(ii).
19 See supra note 5 and accompanying text. The
Commission notes that an investment adviser to an
open-end fund is required to be registered under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (‘‘Advisers Act’’).
As a result, the Adviser and its related personnel
are subject to the provisions of Rule 204A–1 under
the Advisers Act relating to codes of ethics. This
Rule requires investment advisers to adopt a code
of ethics that reflects the fiduciary nature of the
relationship to clients as well as compliance with
other applicable securities laws. Accordingly,
procedures designed to prevent the communication
and misuse of non-public information by an
investment adviser must be consistent with Rule
204A–1 under the Advisers Act. In addition, Rule
206(4)–7 under the Advisers Act makes it unlawful
for an investment adviser to provide investment
advice to clients unless such investment adviser has
(i) adopted and implemented written policies and
procedures reasonably designed to prevent
violation, by the investment adviser and its
supervised persons, of the Advisers Act and the
Commission rules adopted thereunder; (ii)
implemented, at a minimum, an annual review
regarding the adequacy of the policies and
procedures established pursuant to subparagraph (i)
above and the effectiveness of their
implementation; and (iii) designated an individual
(who is a supervised person) responsible for
administering the policies and procedures adopted
under subparagraph (i) above.

portfolio.20 The Exchange states that it
has a general policy prohibiting the
distribution of material, non-public
information by its employees. The
Commission also notes that the
Exchange may obtain information via
the ISG from other exchanges that are
members of ISG or with which the
Exchange has in place a comprehensive
surveillance sharing agreement.
The Exchange further represents that
the Shares are deemed to be equity
securities, thus rendering trading in the
Shares subject to the Exchange’s
existing rules governing the trading of
equity securities. In support of this
proposal, the Exchange has made
representations, including:
(1) The Shares will conform to the
initial and continued listing criteria
under NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.600.
(2) The Exchange has appropriate
rules to facilitate transactions in the
Shares during all trading sessions.
(3) The Exchange’s surveillance
procedures applicable to derivative
products, which include Managed Fund
Shares, are adequate to properly
monitor Exchange trading of the Shares
in all trading sessions and to deter and
detect violations of Exchange rules and
applicable federal securities laws.
(4) Prior to the commencement of
trading, the Exchange will inform its
Equity Trading Permit Holders in an
Information Bulletin of the special
characteristics and risks associated with
trading the Shares. Specifically, the
Information Bulletin will discuss the
following: (a) The procedures for
purchases and redemptions of Shares in
Creation Unit aggregations (and that
Shares are not individually redeemable);
(b) NYSE Arca Equities Rule 9.2(a),
which imposes a duty of due diligence
on its Equity Trading Permit Holders to
learn the essential facts relating to every
customer prior to trading the Shares; (c)
the risks involved in trading the Shares
during the Opening and Late Trading
Sessions when an updated PIV will not
be calculated or publicly disseminated;
(d) how information regarding the PIV is
disseminated; (e) the requirement that
Equity Trading Permit Holders deliver a
prospectus to investors purchasing
newly issued Shares prior to or
concurrently with the confirmation of a
transaction; and (f) trading information.
(5) For initial and/or continued
listing, the Fund will be in compliance
with Rule 10A–3 under the Act,21 as
provided by NYSE Arca Equities Rule
5.3.
(6) The Fund will not: (a) Hold more
than 15% of its net assets in illiquid
securities, including, but not limited to,
Rule 144A securities, loan
participations and assignments, delayed
funding loans, revolving credit facilities,
and fixed- and floating-rate loans; (b)
pursuant to the terms of the Exemptive
Order, invest in options contracts,
futures contracts, or swap agreements;
or (c) invest in any non-U.S. registered
equity securities, except if such
securities are traded on exchanges that
are ISG members.
(7) The Fund’s investments will be
consistent with the Fund’s investment
objective and will not be used to
enhance leverage.
(8) A minimum of 100,000 Shares of
the Fund will be outstanding at the
commencement of trading on the
Exchange.
This approval order is based on the
Exchange’s representations.
For the foregoing reasons, the
Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section
6(b)(5) of the Act 22 and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to a
national securities exchange.
IV. Conclusion
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,23 that the
proposed rule change (SR–NYSEArca–
2011–95) be, and it hereby is, approved.
For the Commission, by the Division of
Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated
authority.24

Mr. Mohamed’s telephone number is
(202) 366–0307. Please identify the
relevant collection of information by
referring to its OMB Control Number.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
before an agency submits a proposed
collection of information to OMB for
approval, it must first publish a
document in the Federal Register
providing a 60-day comment period and
otherwise consult with members of the
public and affected agencies concerning
each proposed collection of information.
The OMB has promulgated regulations
describing what must be included in
such a document. Under OMB’s
regulation (at 5 CFR 1320.8(d)), an
agency must ask for public comment on
the following:
(i) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(ii) the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(iii) how to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(iv) how to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
PO 00000
Frm 00084

who are to respond, including the use
of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
In compliance with these
requirements, NHTSA asks for public
comments on the following proposed
collection of information for which the
agency is seeking approval from OMB:
Title: 49 CFR 575—Consumer
Information Regulations (sections 103
and 105).
OMB Control Number: 2127–0049.
Form Number: None.
Affected Public: Motor vehicle
manufacturers of light trucks and utility
vehicles.
Requested Expiration Date of
Approval: Three years from approval
date.
Abstract: NHTSA must ensure that
motor vehicle manufacturers comply
with 49 CFR Part 575, Consumer
Information Regulation part 575.103,
Truck-camper loading and Part 575.105
Utility Vehicles. Part 575.103 requires
that manufacturers of light trucks that
are capable of accommodating slide-in
campers provide information on the
cargo weight rating and the longitudinal
limits within which the center of gravity
for the cargo weight rating should be
located. Part 575.105 requires that
manufacturers of utility vehicles affix a
sticker in a prominent location alerting
drivers that the particular handling and
maneuvering characteristics of utility
vehicles require special driving
practices when these vehicles are
operated.
Estimated Annual Burden: 300 hours.
Number of Respondents: 15.
Based on prior years’ manufacturer
submissions, the agency estimates that
15 responses will be submitted
annually. Currently 12 light truck
manufacturers comply with 49 CFR part
575. These manufacturers file one
response annually and submit a
additional response when they
introduce a new model. Changes are
rarely filed with the agency, but we
estimate that at least three
manufacturers will alter their
information because of model changes.
The light truck manufacturers gather
only pre-existing data for the purposes
of this regulation. Based on previous
years’ manufacturer information, the
agency estimates that light truck
manufacturers use a total of 20 hours to
gather and arrange the data in its proper
format (9 hours), to distribute the
information to its dealerships and attach
labels to light trucks that are capable of
accommodating slide-in campers (4
hours), and to print the labels and
