proposed rule change, at least five business days 

prior to the filing of the proposed rule change, or 

such shorter time as designated by the Commission. 

The Commission notes that the Exchange has 

satisfied this requirement. 

12See NYSE Euronext E-mail, supra note 8. 

13For purposes only of waiving the 30-day 

operative delay, the Commission has considered the 

proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition, 

and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 14 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

has asked the Commission to waive the 

30-day operative delay so that the 

proposal may become operative 

immediately upon filing. The Exchange 

has represented that it is completing 

testing of a functionality that would 

enable the electronic acceptance of 

orders after 4 p.m., and if successful, the 

Exchange expects to be able to 

implement the new functionality by the 

end of December 2010. If the Exchange 

will not be able to implement the new 

functionality by that date, it will work 

with the Commission to set a new target 

date for implementation. The Exchange 

also has represented that it plans to file 

a proposed rule change to amend Rule 

123C(9) to make the pilot permanent 

and to remove the limitation that only 

Floor brokers can represent interest after 

4 p.m.12

The Commission believes that 

waiving the 30-day operative delay is 

consistent with the protection of 

investors and the public interest 

because it will allow the pilot to 

continue uninterrupted, thereby 

permitting offsetting interest 

represented by floor brokers to alleviate 

extreme order imbalances occurring at 

the close until the Exchange is able to 

allow the electronic submission of such 

interest after 4 p.m. in such 

circumstances.13 Accordingly, the 

Commission waives the 30-day 

operative delay requirement and 

designates the proposed rule change 

operative upon filing with the 

Commission. 

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 necessary or appropriate in the 

public interest, for the protection of 

investors, or otherwise in furtherance of 

the purposes of the Act. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments

Background 

Air Operator ODA 

The FAA plans to establish two (2) 

new ODA program types in addition to 

those already established by FAA Order 

8100.15, Organization Designation 

Authorization Procedures. Proposed 

revisions to FAA Order 8100.15 are 

available for review, and may be 

accessed at http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/ 

draft_docs/. 

This new ODA program would allow 

organizations to conduct certification 

functions for the issuance of rotorcraft 

external-load operator certificates, in 

accordance with the requirements of 14 

CFR part 133. The FAA anticipates a 

phased-in approach to this authority, 

with the FAA initially retaining 

authority for issuance of the certificate. 

The actual delegation of the issuance of 

the certificate would only be allowed 

after the ODA holder had successfully 

shown the ability to determine 

compliance with all aspects of 14 CFR 

part 133. 

Air Operator ODAs would be 

appointed and managed by the 

geographic Flight Standards District 

Office under the authority of the 

Director, Flight Standards Service. The 

FAA anticipates granting Air Operator 

ODA to only a small number of 

organizations based on the 

organization’s experience and the FAA’s 

need to delegate the authority. 

Knowledge Testing ODA 

This new ODA program would allow 

organizations to administer automated 

airman tests and provide certified test 

results to applicants. These functions 

are currently performed by authorized 

Computer Testing Designees under the 

provisions of FAA Order 8080.6, 

Conduct of Airman Knowledge Tests. 

Consolidation of these functions under 

the ODA program will standardize and 

align their activities and the FAA’s 

oversight, making them consistent with 

other forms of ODA programs. 

Knowledge Testing ODAs would be 

appointed and managed by The Flight 

Standards Airman Testing Standards 

Branch, AFS–630, under the authority 

of the Director, Flight Standards 

Service. The FAA anticipates that 

existing computer testing designees will 

desire to transition to the ODA program, 

and other organizations may be 

appointed as needed to make testing 

services available to the public.

15, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Interested 

parties are invited to send comments 

regarding any aspect of this information 

collection, including: (1) The necessity 

and utility of the information collection 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the FTA; (2) the accuracy

Title: Charter Service Operations. 

(OMB Number: 2132–0543). 

Background: 49 U.S.C. 5323(d) 

requires all applicants for financial 

assistance from FTA to enter into a 

charter bus agreement with the 

Secretary of Transportation (delegated 

to the Administrator of FTA in 49 CFR 

1.51(a)). 49 U.S.C. 5323(d) provides 

protections for private intercity charter 

bus operators from unfair competition 

by FTA recipients. 49 U.S.C. 5302(a)(10) 

as interpreted by the Comptroller 

General permits FTA recipients, but 

does not state that recipients have a 

right, to provide charter bus service 

with FTA-funded facilities and 

equipment only if it is incidental to the 

provision of mass transportation service.
