What do you wish you knew about nature in the United States? 4. The scope of the NNA includes assessment of the observed trends and future projections of nature and the benefits it provides to people. Given this: a. How far back in time should the NNA explore observed trends, and why? b. What kinds of questions about the future should the NNA aim to answer? How far into the future should projections extend, and why? c. What types of future scenarios would best support the recommended uses (e.g. quantitative time series, directional changes, stories)? 5. Assessments can create a wide variety of products that help users access, understand and use the information that is provided. These can include large written reports, a series of shorter reports, online interactive settings, artistic expressions (paintings, poems, etc.), infographics, virtual or augmented reality tools, phone or tablet apps, presentations, data resources, films, podcasts, social media, events, entertainment products, and many others. a. What kinds of products can best communicate the findings of the NNA? b. How would you like to use the findings of the NNA? 6. Past assessments have used various approaches to organizing findings. Some give information for each region of the country (e.g., findings for the southeast, northwest, southwest, the Arctic). Others give information for different types of ecosystems (e.g., kelp forest, desert, temperate forest) or levels of ecological organization (e.g., species, communities, ecosystems). Still others organize findings for specific audiences (e.g., government, businesses, land owners, resource users like fishers, hunters, hikers), or specific decisionmaking contexts (e.g., NEPA requirements, corporate ESG reporting, financial risk disclosure, research prioritization). The NNA is tasked to assess the connections between nature and the benefits it provides, and so findings could also be organized by benefit (e.g., public health, equity, economy) or by sector (e.g., agriculture, transportation, health, housing, energy). a. Given that the scope of the NNA is quite broad, how should information in the assessment be organized? b. What format would best match the ways you think the NNA should be used? VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:15 Oct 28, 2022 Jkt 259001 Questions To Inform a Definition of Nature The guidance provided by USGCRP asks the NNA to assess lands, waters, wildlife, biodiversity, and ecosystems and the benefits they provide, including connections to the economy, public health, equity, climate mitigation and adaptation, and national security. USGCRP is aware that there are many different definitions of nature and many ways of coming to know and understand nature. With this in mind, USGCRP seeks responses to the following questions: 7. What does nature mean to you? 8. What should the definition of nature used in the NNA be sure to address or include, and why? 9. What should the definition of nature used in the NNA be sure to leave out or exclude, and why? Questions To Inform Identification of Relevant Knowledge Sources 10. Indigenous Knowledge (IK) is an important body of knowledge that contributes to the scientific, technical, social, and economic advancements of the United States and to our collective understanding of the natural world. Responsive to this recognition: a. How can USGCRP best engage with Tribes and Indigenous Peoples in the development of the NNA? b. How should IK be woven together with other forms of knowing in the NNA? 11. There are many ongoing assessments, and existing quantitative and qualitative data and knowledge that relate to the many aspects of nature and the wide range of benefits the NNA is charged to assess. These sources may be generated by government agencies, Tribes and Indigenous Peoples, colleges and universities, local communities, non-profit organizations, the international community, the private sector, and others. a. What existing assessments and knowledge efforts should the NNA draw from to provide a comprehensive view of the status, observed trends and future projections of nature and its benefits in the United States, and why? b. How can USGCRP best engage with local communities to incorporate their lived experiences into the NNA? c. What existing datasets, knowledge sources, information or stories should USGCRP draw from in creating the NNA, and why? d. How should the NNA be designed to add value beyond what these existing efforts and sources already provide? PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Public Engagement Plans Opportunities for public engagement to inform NNA will be presented throughout its development. The following planned public engagement schedule is presented to notify the public of these coming opportunities. The specific timing of these engagement efforts will depend upon feedback from this RFI and how the NNA is developed based on that information. However, the NNA currently plans the following public engagement plans at a minimum, regardless of what other engagement opportunities may become available in the future. • Public comment on NNA draft prospectus • Public engagement workshops and webinars • Public calls for authors • Public comment on drafts of assessment products, as appropriate • Peer review of assessment products, as appropriate All are invited to participate in these public engagement opportunities to ensure robust public input to NNA. Specific dates and locations for all engagements will be provided on www.globalchange.gov/notices as they are determined. Members of the public may also sign up to receive updates through USGCRP’s bimonthly newsletter at www.globalchange.gov/ newsletter-signup. Dated: October 26, 2022. Stacy Murphy, Operations Manager.

Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and the Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES 1. Purpose The Exchange proposes to amend Commentary .01 of NYSE National Rule 2.1210 (Registration Requirements) to add text inadvertently omitted when the rule was adopted. Proposed Rule Change In 2018, the Exchange adopted Rule 2.1210 regarding registration requirements and related Commentary.4 Rule 2.1210 provides that each person engaged in the investment banking or securities business of an ETP Holder must register with the Exchange as a representative or principal in each category of registration appropriate to his or her functions and responsibilities as specified in Rule 2.1220 (Registration Categories), unless exempt from 4 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 84350 (October 3, 2018), 83 FR 51030 (October 10, 2018) (SR–NYSENat–2018–21) (Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Amendments to Rules Regarding Qualification, Registration and Continuing Education Applicable to Equity Trading Permit Holders). VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:15 Oct 28, 2022 Jkt 259001 registration pursuant to Rule 2.1230 (Associated Persons Exempt from Registration). Rule 2.1210 also provides that such person is not qualified to function in any registered capacity other than that for which the person is registered, unless otherwise stated in the rules. Rule 2.1210, Commentary .01, provides for permissive registrations, and was adopted in order for the Exchange to harmonize its rules with the rules of the Financial Regulatory Authority, Inc. (‘‘FINRA’’).5 The rule permits any associated person to obtain and maintain any registration permitted by an ETP Holder. As adopted, the first sentence of Commentary .01 provides as follows: An ETP Holder may make application for or maintain the registration as a representative or principal of any associated person of an ETP Holder and any individual engaged in the securities business of a foreign securities affiliate or subsidiary of the ETP Holder. The Exchange inadvertently omitted the words ‘‘investment banking or’’ immediately before ‘‘securities business’’. The omitted text mirrors the language of FINRA Rule 1210.02 and Commentary .01 of the version of Rule 2.1210 adopted by the Exchange’s affiliates New York Stock Exchange, Inc., and NYSE American LLC.6 As proposed, the first sentence of Commentary .01 of Rule 2.1210 would read as follows (new text italicized: An ETP Holder may make application for or maintain the registration as a representative or principal of any associated person of an ETP Holder and any individual engaged in the investment banking or securities business of a foreign securities affiliate or subsidiary of the ETP Holder. The Exchange does not propose any additional changes to the text of Rule 2.1210. 2. Statutory Basis The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ‘‘Act’’),7 in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5),8 in particular, because it is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, to remove 5 See id., 83 FR at 51033.

The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change would remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system and, in general, protect investors and the public interest because the proposed conforming change would add clarity, transparency and consistency to the Exchange’s registration rules. The Exchange believes that market participants would benefit from the increased clarity, thereby reducing potential confusion. Similarly, the Exchange believes that the proposed changes would also make the Exchange’s registration rules more consistent with the rules of its affiliates, thereby ensuring that persons subject to the Exchange’s jurisdiction, regulators, and the investing public can more easily navigate and understand the Exchange’s rules. 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. The proposed rule change is not intended to address competitive issues but rather is concerned solely with amending the registration rules to make a conforming change to add text inadvertently omitted when the rules were adopted. 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 The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 9 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.10 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 9 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).

A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 11 normally does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the 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 has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposed rule change may become operative immediately upon filing. The Commission believes that because this rule change better harmonizes the exchange’s rules with those of FINRA, waiver of the 30-day operative delay for this proposed rule change is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. Accordingly, the Commission hereby waives the 30-day operative delay and designates the proposed rule change operative upon filing.13 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.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend Commentary .01 of NYSE National Rule 
2.1210 to add text inadvertently omitted when the rule was adopted. The 
proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's website at 
www.nyse.com, at the principal office of the Exchange, and at the 
Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization 
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the 
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the 
proposed rule change. The text of those statements may be examined at 
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared 
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most 
significant parts of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and the 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend Commentary .01 of NYSE National Rule 
2.1210 (Registration Requirements) to add text inadvertently omitted 
when the rule was adopted.
Proposed Rule Change
    In 2018, the Exchange adopted Rule 2.1210 regarding registration 
requirements and related Commentary.\4\ Rule 2.1210 provides that each 
person engaged in the investment banking or securities business of an 
ETP Holder must register with the Exchange as a representative or 
principal in each category of registration appropriate to his or her 
functions and responsibilities as specified in Rule 2.1220 
(Registration Categories), unless exempt from registration pursuant to 
Rule 2.1230 (Associated Persons Exempt from Registration). Rule 2.1210 
also provides that such person is not qualified to function in any 
registered capacity other than that for which the person is registered, 
unless otherwise stated in the rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 84350 (October 3, 
2018), 83 FR 51030 (October 10, 2018) (SR-NYSENat-2018-21) (Notice 
of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Amendments to Rules 
Regarding Qualification, Registration and Continuing Education 
Applicable to Equity Trading Permit Holders).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 2.1210, Commentary .01, provides for permissive registrations, 
and was adopted in order for the Exchange to harmonize its rules with 
the rules of the Financial Regulatory Authority, Inc. (``FINRA'').\5\ 
The rule permits any associated person to obtain and maintain any 
registration permitted by an ETP Holder. As adopted, the first sentence 
of Commentary .01 provides as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See id., 83 FR at 51033.

    An ETP Holder may make application for or maintain the 
registration as a representative or principal of any associated 
person of an ETP Holder and any individual engaged in the securities 
business of a foreign securities affiliate or subsidiary of the ETP 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Holder.

    The Exchange inadvertently omitted the words ``investment banking 
or'' immediately before ``securities business''. The omitted text 
mirrors the language of FINRA Rule 1210.02 and Commentary .01 of the 
version of Rule 2.1210 adopted by the Exchange's affiliates New York 
Stock Exchange, Inc., and NYSE American LLC.\6\ As proposed, the first 
sentence of Commentary .01 of Rule 2.1210 would read as follows (new 
text italicized:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See FINRA Rule 1210.02; NYSE Rule 1210, Commentary .01; NYSE 
American Rule 1210, Commentary .01.

    An ETP Holder may make application for or maintain the 
registration as a representative or principal of any associated 
person of an ETP Holder and any individual engaged in the investment 
banking or securities business of a foreign securities affiliate or 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
subsidiary of the ETP Holder.

    The Exchange does not propose any additional changes to the text of 
Rule 2.1210.
2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act''),\7\ in general, and 
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5),\8\ in particular, because 
it is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and 
practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster 
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating 
transactions in securities, to remove impediments to, and perfect the 
mechanism of, a free and open market and a national market system and, 
in general, to protect investors and the public interest.

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change would remove 
impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and 
a national market system and, in general, protect investors and the 
public interest because the proposed conforming change would add 
clarity, transparency and consistency to the Exchange's registration 
rules. The Exchange believes that market participants would benefit 
from the increased clarity, thereby reducing potential confusion. 
Similarly, the Exchange believes that the proposed changes would also 
make the Exchange's registration rules more consistent with the rules 
of its affiliates, thereby ensuring that persons subject to the 
Exchange's jurisdiction, regulators, and the investing public can more 
easily navigate and understand the Exchange's rules.

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. The proposed rule change is 
not intended to address competitive issues but rather is concerned 
solely with amending the registration rules to make a conforming change 
to add text inadvertently omitted when the rules were adopted.

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section 
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\10\ 
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

[[Page 65626]]

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.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \11\ normally 
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the 
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 has asked 
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposed 
rule change may become operative immediately upon filing. The 
Commission believes that because this rule change better harmonizes the 
exchange's rules with those of FINRA, waiver of the 30-day operative 
delay for this proposed rule change is consistent with the protection 
of investors and the public interest. Accordingly, the Commission 
hereby waives the 30-day operative delay and designates the proposed 
rule change operative upon filing.\13\

    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \13\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay, 
the Commission has considered the proposed rule change's impact on 
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
