Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 101 / Tuesday, May 26, 2020 / Notices
Exchange believes that the proposal will
have a positive effect on competition
because, by providing Entering Firms
and their Clearing Firms additional
means to monitor and control risk, the
proposed rule will increase confidence
in the proper functioning of the markets.
The Exchange believes the proposed
Pre-Trade Risk Controls will assist
Entering Firms and Clearing Firms in
managing their financial exposure
which, in turn, could enhance the
integrity of trading on the securities
markets and help to assure the stability
of the financial system. As a result, the
level of competition should increase as
public confidence in the markets is
solidified.
IV. Solicitation of Comments
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
Paper Comments
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
The Exchange has filed the proposed
rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 12 and Rule
19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.13 Because the
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
prior to 30 days from the date on which
it was filed, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate, if
consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, the
proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)
of the Act and Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii)
thereunder.
At any time within 60 days of the
filing of such proposed rule change, the
Commission summarily may
temporarily suspend 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. If the
Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings
under Section 19(b)(2)(B) 14 of the Act to
determine whether the proposed rule
change should be approved or
disapproved.

Federal Railroad Administration
[Docket Number FRA–2020–0038]
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice
that on April 27, 2020, the City of San
Clemente, California, (the City),
petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for a waiver of
compliance from certain provisions of
the Federal railroad safety regulations
contained at 49 CFR part 222, Use of
Locomotive Horns at Public HighwayRail Grade Crossings. FRA assigned the
petition Docket Number FRA–2020–
0038.
Specifically, the City seeks relief from
the requirements of 49 CFR 222.59(a)(1),
to allow use of a Pedestrian Audible
Warning System (PAWS), which is
similar to a wayside horn, when
approaching seven highway-rail grade
crossings, instead of a locomotive horn.
The City also requests a waiver of
certain provisions found in appendix E
to 49 CFR part 222, Paragraphs 4 and 6,
to allow a minimum sound level of 80
dB(A) and direction of the PAWS. The
seven crossings that are the subject of
this waiver are:
• Dije Court—US DOT Number
922847D—MP 203.95—pedestrian—3
PAWS
• El Portal—US DOT Number
922848K—MP 204.04—pedestrian—2

On April 14, 2015, FRA granted the
City regulatory relief from the
requirements of § 222.59(a)(1), and part
222, appendix E, as described above.
See Docket Number FRA–2014–0081.
The current petition seeks a five-year
extension of relief from these
requirements, stating that during the
initial waiver period, the PAWS have
performed as intended to provide a
localized audible warning to
pedestrians, and there have been no
accidents at any of the seven crossings.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov and in person at
the U.S. Department of Transportation’s

scheduling a public hearing in
connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a
hearing. If any interested parties desire
an opportunity for oral comment and a

in writing, before the end of the
comment period and specify the basis
