3 15 U.S.C. § 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).

4 17 CFR 240.19b–4(e)(3). 5 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12).

language of the Article to clearly state

that transfers of memberships needed to

be made pursuant to this Constitutional

Article. When the new Rule 1 was being

revised, the Board and membership

agreed to change the language of Section

1, Article VII. The proposed change was

viewed as somewhat confusing by the

membership. Consequently, after Board

approval and member vote, the

Exchange is now proposing to change

Article VII so that it clearly states that

transfers of membership must comply

with the provisions of Article VII in the

Constitution.

Basis

Pursuant to Rule 19b–4(e)(3), the

proposed rule change is concerned

solely with the administration of the

Exchange. The proposed rule change is

consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,

in general, and Section 6(b)(5), in

particular, in that it is designed to

promote just and equitable principles of

trade because the definitions, reflecting

the changes desired by the membership,

will be consistent throughout the PCX

Constitution and Rules and a

membership vote will be necessary to

approve any changes to these

definitions.

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.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement on Comments on the

Proposed Rule Change Received From

Members, Participants, or Others

Written comments on the proposed

rule change were neither solicited nor

received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for

Commission Action

The Exchange has designated this

proposal as concerned solely with the

administration of the Exchange under

Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 3 and

subparagraph (e)(3) of Rule 19b–4,4

which renders the proposed rule change

effective on July 23, 1997, the date of

receipt of this filing by the Commission.

At any time within sixty days of the

filing of the proposed rule change, the

Commission may summarily abrogate

such rule change it if 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

Interested persons are invited to

submit written data, views, and

arguments concerning the foregoing.

People making written submissions

should file six copies thereof with the

Secretary, Securities and Exchange

Commission, 450 Fifth Street, N.W.,

Washington, D.C. 20549. Copies of the

submission, all subsequent

amendments, all written statements

with respect to the proposed rule

change that are filed with the

Commission, and all written

communications relating to the

proposed rule change between the

Commission and any person, other than

those that may be withheld from the

public in accordance with the

provisions of 5 U.S.C. § 552, will be

available for inspection and copying in

the Commission’s Public Reference

Room. Copies of the filing will also be

available for inspection and copying at

the PCX’s principal offices. All

submissions should refer to File No.

SR–PCX–97–23 and should be

submitted by September 5, 1997.

For the Commission by the Division of

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated

authority.5

Agency Information Collection

Activity: Proposed Collection;

Comment Request

AGENCY: Department of Transportation,

Federal Aviation Administration (DOT/

FAA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)

this notice announces that the

information collection request described

below has been forwarded to the Office

of Management and Budget (OMB) for

review and comment. The FAA issued

a final rule on Commercial PassengerCarrying Operations in Single Engine

Aircraft under Instrument Flight Rules

on July 31, 1997. This notice describes

the paperwork burden associated with

that rule and allows for a 60-day

comment period while the paperwork

package is being reviewed by OMB. The

following information describes the

nature of the information collection and

its expected burden.

With respect to the following

collection of information, FAA invites

comments on: (1) Whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of FAA’s

functions, including whether the

information will have practical utility;

(2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate

of the burden of the proposed collection

of information, including the validity of

the methodology and assumptions used;

(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility,

and clarity of the information to be

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the

burden of the collection of information

on respondents, including through the

use of appropriate automated,

electronic, mechanical, or other

technological collection techniques or

other forms of information technology,

e.g., permitting electronic submission of

responses.
