Download as PDF khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 173 / Thursday, September 8, 2022 / Notices listing criteria in proposed Rule 14.11(d)(2)(K)(v)(a): (1) the value of the Options Reference Asset must be calculated and widely disseminated by one or more major market data vendors on at least a 15-second basis during the Exchange’s regular market session; and (2) in the case of Options-Linked Securities that are periodically redeemable, the indicative value of the subject Options Linked Securities must be calculated and widely disseminated by the Exchange or one or more major market data vendors on at least a 15second basis during the Exchange’s regular market session. Options-Linked Securities also will be subject to the continued listing criteria in proposed Rule 14.11(d)(2)(K)(v)(b) as described above. Finally, all Options-Linked Securities listed pursuant to Exchange Rule 14.11(d) would be included within the definition of ‘‘security’’ or ‘‘securities’’ as such terms are used in the Exchange’s rules and, as such, are subject to Exchange rules and procedures that currently govern the trading of securities on the Exchange. The Exchange believes that the proposed standards would continue to ensure transparency surrounding the listing process for Linked Securities. The Exchange also believes that the standards for listing and trading Options-Linked Securities are reasonably designed to promote a fair and orderly market for such securities. The proposed addition of Options Reference Assets, as described above, would also work in conjunction with the initial and continued listing criteria related to surveillance procedures and trading guidelines for Linked Securities. The Exchange believes that its surveillance procedures are adequate to properly monitor the trading of Options Linked Securities in all trading sessions and to deter and detect violations of Exchange rules. Trading in the securities may be halted under the conditions specified in Exchange Rule 14.11(d)(2)(H). The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change will provide investors with the ability to better diversify and hedge their portfolios using an exchange listed security without having to trade directly in the underlying options contracts, and will facilitate the listing and trading of additional Linked Securities that will enhance competition among market participants, to the benefit of investors and the marketplace. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:19 Sep 07, 2022 Jkt 256001 any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed rule change will facilitate the listing and trading of additional Linked Securities that will enhance competition among market participants, to the benefit of investors and the marketplace. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on 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 up to 90 days (i) as the Commission may designate if it finds such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to which the Exchange consents, the Commission will: A. by order approve or disapprove such proposed rule change, or B. institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved. IV.

Abstract of Proposed Collection

    The export, temporary import, and brokering of defense articles, 
defense services, and related technical data are licensed by the 
Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) in accordance with the 
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (``ITAR,'' 22 CFR parts 120-
130) and Section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act.
    ITAR Sec.  126.18 eliminates, subject to certain conditions, the 
requirement for an approval by DDTC of the transfer of unclassified 
defense articles, which includes technical data, to or within a foreign 
business entity, foreign governmental entity, or international 
organization that is an authorized end-user or consignee (including 
transfers to approved sub-licensees) for defense articles, including 
the transfer to dual nationals or third-country nationals who are bona 
fide regular employees directly employed by the foreign consignee or 
end-user.
    To use ITAR Sec.  126.18, effective procedures must be in place to 
prevent diversion to any destination, entity, or for purposes other 
than those authorized by the applicable export license or other 
authorization. Those conditions can be met by requiring a security 
clearance approved by the host nation government for its employees, or 
the end-user or consignee have in place a process to screen all its 
employees and to have executed a Non-Disclosure Agreement that provides 
assurances that the employee will not transfer any defense articles to 
persons or entities unless specifically authorized by the consignee or 
end-user. ITAR Sec.  126.18(c)(2) also provides that the technology 
security/clearance plans and screening records shall be made available 
to DDTC or its agents for law enforcement purposes upon request.

Methodology

requirement is required to be sent to the Directorate of Defense Trade 
Controls, it may be sent electronically or by mail according to 
guidance given by DDTC.

Deputy Assistant Secretary, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls,
