34 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2). 35 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). requirements, such as in CBOE Rules 9.8 and 9.9. 30 The Commission believes that these safeguards are reasonably designed to help mitigate potential risks for retail and other investors of investing in FLEX Options.

CBOE also believes that permanently removing the minimum value size requirements for FLEX Options will giveinvestors a more viable, exchangetraded alternative to customized options in the OTC market, which are not subject to minimum value size requirements. 31 Furthermore, CBOE has represented that broker-dealers have indicated to CBOE that the minimum value size requirements have prevented them from bringing transactions on the Exchange that are already taking place in the OTC market. 32 Therefore, it appears possible that permanent approval of the Pilot Program could further incent trading interest in customized options to move from the OTC market to CBOE. To the extent investors choose to trade FLEX Options on CBOE in lieu of the OTC market as a result of the permanent removal of the minimum value size requirements, such action should benefit investors. As the Commission has previously noted, there are certain benefits to trading on an exchange, such as enhanced efficiency in initiating and closing out positions, increased market transparency, and heightened contra-party creditworthiness due to the role of the Options Clearing Corporation as issuer and guarantor of FLEX Options. 33

IV. Conclusion

In summary, the Commission believes, for the reasons noted above, that the proposed rule change to permanently approve the Pilot Program is consistent with the Act and Section 6(b)(5) thereunder in particular, and should be approved. The Commission expects CBOE to continue to monitor the usage of FLEX Options and review whether changes need to be made to its rules or the ODD to address any changes in retail FLEX Option participation or any other issues that may occur as a result of the elimination of the minimum value sizes on a permanent basis.

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act, 34 that the proposed rule change (SR–CBOE–2012– 040) be, and it hereby is, approved. For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority. 35 Kevin M. O’Neill, Deputy Secretary.

**2012 Special 301 Out-of-Cycle Review of Notorious Markets: Request for**  **Public Comments**

**AGENCY :**  Office of the United States Trade Representative.

**ACTION :**  Request for written submissions from the public.

**SUMMARY :**  In 2010, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) began publishing the notorious market list as an ‘‘Out of Cycle Review’’ separately from the annual Special 301 report. This review of Notorious Markets (‘‘Notorious Markets List’’) results in the publication of examples of Internet and physical markets that have been the subject of enforcement action or that may merit further investigation for possible intellectual property infringements. The Notorious Markets List does not represent a finding of violation of law, but rather is a summary of information that serves to highlight the problem of marketplaces that deal in infringing goods and which help sustain global piracy and counterfeiting. USTR is hereby requesting written submissions from the public identifying potential Internet and physical notorious markets that exist outside the United States and that may be included in the 2012 Notorious Markets List.

**DATES :**  The deadline for interested parties to submit written comments is September 14, 2012.

**ADDRESSES :**  All written comments should be sent electronically via http://www.regulations.gov, docket number USTR–2012–0011. Submissionsshould contain the term ‘‘2012 Out-ofCycle Review of Notorious Markets’’ in the ‘‘Type comment’’ field on http:// www.regulations.gov.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Paula Karol Pinha, Director for Intellectual Property and Innovation, Office of the United States Trade Representative, at (202) 395– 5419. Further information about Special 301 can be found at http://www.ustr.gov.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  1. Background

Pursuant to the Administration’s 2010 Joint Strategic Plan on Intellectual Property Enforcement, USTR began conducting an Out-of-Cycle Review of Notorious Markets, resulting in publication, separately from the annual Special 301 report, of a ‘‘Notorious Markets List.’’ (The Notorious Markets List had previously been included in annual Special 301 reports.) USTR published the first stand alone Notorious Markets List in February 2011, and published the second List in December 2011. The December 2011 Notorious Markets List identified 34 markets, including both physical and Internet markets, as examples of marketplaces that have been the subject of enforcement action or that may merit further investigation for possible intellectual property rights infringements, or both.

The Notorious Markets List does not reflect findings of violation of law, nor does it reflect the United States’ analysis of the general climate of protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights in the countries where the markets were located. Rather, the list identifies certain prominent examples of markets in which pirated or counterfeit goods were reportedly available. As part
