Risk-Based Capital-Supplemental Rule
The NCUA Board (Board) is seeking comment on a proposed rule that would amend the NCUA's previously revised regulations regarding prompt corrective action (PCA). The proposal would delay the effective date of the NCUA's October 29, 2015 final rule regarding risk-based capital (2015 Final Rule) for one year, moving the effective date from January 1, 2019 to January 1, 2020. During the extended delay period, the NCUA's current PCA requirements would remain in effect. The proposal would also amend the definition of a ``complex'' credit union adopted in the 2015 Final Rule for risk-based capital purposes by increasing the threshold level for coverage from $100 million to $500 million. These proposed changes would provide covered credit unions and the NCUA with additional time to prepare for the rule's implementation, and would exempt an additional 1,026 credit unions from the rule without subjecting the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) to undue risk.

Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc., Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, Units 3 and 4, Ventilation System Changes
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is granting exemptions to allow a departure from elements of the certification information of Tier 1 of the generic AP1000 design control document (DCD) and issuing License Amendment Nos. 131 and 130 to Combined Licenses (COL), NPF-91 and NPF-92, respectively. The COLs were issued to Southern Nuclear Operating Company, and Georgia Power Company, Oglethorpe Power Corporation, MEAG Power SPVM, LLC, MEAG Power SPVJ, LLC, MEAG Power SPVP, LLC, and the City of Dalton, Georgia (the licensee); for construction and operation of the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) Units 3 and 4, located in Burke County, Georgia. The granting of the exemptions allows the changes to Tier 1 information asked for in the amendment. Because the acceptability of the exemptions were determined in part by the acceptability of the amendments, the exemptions and amendments are being issued concurrently. The exemption revises the plant-specific Tier 1 information and corresponding changes to COL Appendix C, and the amendment changes the associated plant-specific DCD Tier 2 material incorporated into the VEGP Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), to modify an administrative program to manage unqualified inorganic zinc coatings in Service Level I areas of the VEGP Units 3 and 4 containment buildings.

Therefore, the prescriptive guidance in RG 8.23 is no longer needed.

Regulation of NMS Stock Alternative Trading Systems
The Securities and Exchange Commission is adopting amendments to regulatory requirements in Regulation ATS under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') applicable to alternative trading systems (``ATSs'') that trade National Market System (``NMS'') stocks (hereinafter referred to as ``NMS Stock ATSs''), including so called ``dark pools.'' First, we are adopting new Form ATS-N, which will require NMS Stock ATSs to disclose information about their manner of operations, the broker-dealer that operates the ATS (``broker-dealer operator''), and the ATS-related activities of the broker-dealer operator and its affiliates. Second, as amended, the regulations will require public posting of certain Form ATS-N filings on the Commission's website, which will be accomplished through the Commission's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (``EDGAR'') and require each NMS Stock ATS that has a website to post on its website a direct URL hyperlink to the Commission's website. Third, the amendments that we are adopting today provide a process for the Commission to review Form ATS-N filings and, after notice and opportunity for hearing, declare an NMS Stock ATS's Form ATS-N ineffective. Fourth, the regulations, as amended, will require all ATSs subject to the regulations to place in writing its safeguards and procedures to protect subscribers' confidential trading information. We are also adopting conforming amendments.

For each amendment request, the NRC proposes to determine that they involve no significant hazards consideration.

Governing Bodies
This proposed rule revises the Legal Services Corporation (LSC or Corporation) regulation regarding recipient governing bodies. LSC is proposing two revisions to give recipient governing bodies flexibility in how they recruit, appoint, and retain client eligible members while remaining faithful to the LSC Act's requirement to appoint client- eligible board members who may also represent associations or organizations of eligible clients. First, LSC proposes to revise the definition of the term eligible client to remove the requirement that a client-eligible board member must be financially eligible ``at the time of appointment to each term of office'' (emphasis added). Second, LSC proposes to eliminate the requirement that client-eligible members be appointed by outside groups.
