Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request, 12635-12636 [2018-05809]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 56 / Thursday, March 22, 2018 / Notices 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 purpose of the Act. The Exchange believes that the proposal will allow the Exchange to better compete with Arca by putting the two exchanges on equal footing as it relates to listing standards applicable to Equity Index-Linked Securities. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on the proposed rule change. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 9 and Rule 19b– 4(f)(6) thereunder.10 A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 11 normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date of its filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii),12 the Commission may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange requests that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal may become operative immediately upon filing. The Exchange represents that waiver of the 30-day operative delay will allow the Exchange to immediately compete with respect to listing new series of Equity IndexLinked Securities on the Exchange. Because the proposed rules previously have been approved by the Commission for, and are substantively identical to those of, another listing exchange, the Commission believes that the proposal 9 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b– 4(f)(6) requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission written notice of its intent to file 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 requirement. 11 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 12 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES 10 17 VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:32 Mar 21, 2018 Jkt 244001 12635 promotes competition with respect to the listing and trading of Equity IndexLinked Securities, and does not believe that the proposal raises any novel or unique regulatory issues.13 Therefore, the Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Commission hereby waives the 30-day operative delay and designates the proposed rule change operative upon filing.14 At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is: (i) Necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the protection of investors; or (iii) otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or disapproved. communications relating to the proposed rule change between the Commission and any person, other than those that may be withheld from the public in accordance with the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552, will be available for website viewing and printing in the Commission’s Public Reference Room, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 on official business days between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Copies of the filing also will be available for inspection and copying at the principal office of the Exchange.

The trackage rights relate to approximately 5.8 miles of rail line between INRD milepost 224.1 at or near Elnora, Ind., and INRD milepost 218.3 at or near Beehunter, Ind. (the Line).1 ISRR states that the Amendment grants ISRR the right to construct one or more additional connections at the Beehunter end of the Line, to reinstall a crossing diamond there, and to extend the term of the Base Agreement by 22 years to August 12, 2065. ISRR, in return, agreed to contribute toward INRD’s obligations under a federal Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant to be used to improve the Line.2 According to ISRR, the Amendment does not make any material change to the trackage rights (which remain overhead with the same end points). A redacted public version of the Amendment is attached to ISRR’s verified notice of exemption.3 As a condition to this exemption, any employees affected by the trackage rights will be protected by the conditions set forth in Norfolk & Western Railway—Trackage Rights— Burlington Northern, Inc., 354 I.C.C. 605 (1978), as modified in Mendocino Coast Railway—Lease & Operate—California Western Railroad, 360 I.C.C. 653 (1980).

R.R.—Trackage Rights Exemption—Soo Line R.R., FD 32538 (ICC served Oct. 13, 1993). ISRR states that it is the successor to Indiana Southern Railroad, Inc., and INRD is the successor in interest to Soo Line Railroad Company. (Notice 1 n.1.) 2 According to ISRR, the Amendment, which was executed in May 2013, was contingent on INRD being awarded a TIGER grant and ISRR contributing toward INRD’s costs after the project’s completion. ISRR states that the grant was awarded in 2014 and that it made the required payment to INRD on August 12, 2015. (Notice 2 n.2.) 3 With its verified notice, ISRR filed a motion for a protective order to protect the confidential and commercial sensitive information contained in the agreement, which ISRR submitted under seal. That motion will be addressed in a separate decision. E:\FR\FM\22MRN1.SGM 22MRN1
