Eagle Fund III, L.P.; Notice Seeking Exemption Under Section 312 of the Small Business Investment Act, Conflicts of Interest, 19165-19166 [2014-07666]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 66 / Monday, April 7, 2014 / Notices mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES and to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system. Specifically, the Exchange believes that the permanent approval of the Pilot Program, which eliminates minimum value size requirements for opening transactions in new FLEX series, would provide greater opportunities for investors to manage risk through the use of FLEX Options. Further, the Exchange notes that it has not experienced any adverse effects from the operation of the Pilot Program. The Exchange also believes that making the Pilot Program permanent does not raise any unique regulatory concerns. The Exchange also believes that eliminating the minimum value size requirements for all other FLEX transactions and FLEX Quotes, thus affording market participants on NYSE Amex Options with an equal opportunity to tailor FLEX transactions to meet their own investment objectives without being encumbered by a minimum contract size, will help to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system. In addition, offering those same market participants similar investment tools available to their counterparts on the CBOE will foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities and will help to remove impediments to a free and open market and a national market system. The Exchange believes that adopting rules similar to those approved for and utilized by the CBOE does not raise any unique regulatory concerns. Lastly, the Exchange also believes that the proposed rule change, which provides all market participants, including public investors, with additional opportunities to trade customized options in an exchange environment and subject to exchangebased rules, is appropriate in the public interest and for the protection of investors. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. Specifically, the proposal is structured to offer the same enhancement to all market participants, regardless of account type, and will not impose a competitive burden on any participant. The Exchange believes that adopting similar FLEX rules to those [sic] the CBOE will VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:49 Apr 04, 2014 Jkt 232001 allow NYSE Amex Options to more efficiently compete for FLEX Options orders. In addition, the Exchange believes that adopting the Pilot Program on a permanent basis will enable the Exchange to compete with the OTC market, in which similar restrictions on minimum value size do not apply. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the proposed rule change. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action Within 45 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will: (A) By order approve or disapprove the proposed rule change, or (B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved. IV. Solicitation of Comments Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods: Electronic Comments • Use the Commission’s Internet comment form (https://www.sec.gov/ rules/sro.shtml ); or • Send an email to rule-comments@ sec.gov.

The Department of State has communicated this information to the Office of Field Operations of U.S. Customs and Border Protection. DATES: Effective Date: On Publication. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stephen J. Wilger, Office of Marine Conservation, Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, Department of State, Washington, DC 20520–7818; telephone: (202) 647–3263; email: wilgersj2@ state.gov. SUMMARY: Section 609 of Public Law 101–162 (‘‘Section 609’’) prohibits imports of certain categories of shrimp unless the President certifies to the Congress by May 1, 1991, and annually thereafter, either: (1) That the harvesting nation has adopted a program governing the incidental capture of sea turtles in its commercial shrimp fishery comparable to the program in effect in the United States and has an incidental take rate comparable to that of the United States; or (2) that the fishing environment in the harvesting nation does not pose a threat of the incidental taking of sea turtles. The President has delegated the authority to make this certification to the Department of State (‘‘the Department’’). Revised State Department guidelines for making the required certifications were published in the Federal Register on July 2, 1999 (Vol. 64, No. 130, Public Notice 3086). Section 609 Certifications are determined on a national basis, rather than on a fishery by fishery basis within a particular country. In particular, SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00122 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 Certifications under Section 609(b)(2)(C) are granted only in cases where no shrimp fishery in a particular country poses a threat of the incidental taking of sea turtles. Since there are other shrimp fisheries in which Spanish vessels operate that could pose a threat to sea turtles, the Department is not able to determine that Spain qualifies for a national Certification pursuant to this Section. Even in the absence of a national Certification, shrimp from non-certified countries that meet one of a set of specific criteria may be imported into the United States provided that certain additional conditions are met. The relevant exception in this case can be found in Section I(B)(d) of the Department of State’s Revised Guidelines for the Implementation of Section 609 of Public Law 101–162, which allows imports of: ‘‘(d) Shrimp harvested in any other manner or under any other circumstances that the Department of State may determine, following consultation with the [NOAA/ NMFS], does not pose a threat of the incidental taking of sea turtles.’’ The Department of State has consulted with NMFS and determined that imports of royal red shrimp (Menopenaeus robustus) from the Spanish Mediterranean shrimp trawl fleet may be imported into the United States pursuant to the Section I(B)(d) of the Department’s implementing guidelines. Such imports must be accompanied by the State Department Form DS–2031 (‘‘Shrimp Exporter’s/ Importer’s Declaration’’) and must indicate on the form that the import is eligible for importation into the United States by checking section 7(A)(4) for ‘‘shrimp harvested in a manner or under circumstances determined by the Department of State not to pose a threat of the incidental taking of sea turtles.’’ In addition, an official of the Government of Spain with knowledge of the method of harvest of the product must certify the DS–2031 forms accompanying any imports into the United States. All DS–2031 forms accompanying shrimp imports from Spain must be originals and signed by the competent domestic fisheries authority. Dated: March 25, 2014. David A. Balton, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Oceans and Fisheries, Department of State. [FR Doc. 2014–07707 Filed 4–4–14; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4710–09–P E:\FR\FM\07APN1.SGM 07APN1
