financial integrity of futures markets; 

price discovery; sound risk management 

practices; and other public interest 

considerations. The Commission could 

in its discretion give greater weight to 

any one of the five enumerated areas 

and could in its discretion determine 

that, notwithstanding its costs, a 

particular order was necessary or 

appropriate to protect the public interest 

or to effectuate any of the provisions or 

to accomplish any of the purposes of the 

CEA. The Commission is considering 

the costs and benefits of this exemptive 

order in light of the specific provisions 

of section 15(a) of the CEA, as follows: 

1. Protection of market participants 

and the public. As described above, 

investing in the Designated Foreign 

Sovereign Debt as requested by the 

Petitioners can provide risk 

management benefits relative to the 

current alternative of holding euro 

collateral in a commercial bank. 

Granting the exemption thus serves to 

protect market participants and the 

public. 

2. Efficiency, competition, and 

financial integrity. Granting the 

exemption may increase efficiency by 

providing DCOs additional flexibility in 

how they manage customer funds. 

Making the investments permitted by 

the order is elective, within the 

discretion of each DCO, and thus does 

not impose additional costs. Further, as 

discussed in the above, DCOs can 

exercise prudent risk management by 

investing in the Designated Foreign 

Sovereign Debt, which may enhance the 

financial integrity of the DCO. 

3. Price discovery. The exemption is 

unlikely to impact price discovery in 

the derivatives markets. 

4. Sound risk management practices. 

As described above, investing customer 

funds in the Designated Foreign 

Sovereign Debt is intended to advance 

sound risk management practices, 

including by limiting custodian and 

collateral concentration risks. 

5. Other public interest 

considerations. The Commission 

believes that the relevant cost-benefit 

considerations are captured in the four 

factors above. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on July 19, 

2018, by the Commission.

Deputy Secretary of the Commission.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Air Force 

Exchange of Air Force Real Property 

for Non-Air Force Real Property 

AGENCY: Air Force Civil Engineer 

Center, United States Air Force, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The Air Force is publishing 

this Notice to identify Federal real 

property that it intends to exchange for 

property that is needed by the Air Force 

to limit encroachment and other 

constraints on military operations at 

Melrose Air Force Range (MAFR), NM. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Joe Weathersby, Air Force Civil 

Engineer Center (AFCEC/CIUB), 2261 

Hughes Avenue, Suite 155, Joint Base 

San Antonio (JBSA) Lackland, TX 

78236–9853; telephone (210) 395–9516. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: MAFR is a 

long established training range, 

consisting of some 70,000 acres, 25 

miles west of Cannon Air Force Base, 

New Mexico. Operations on Melrose 

Range also cover an area of 2,500 square 

miles of airspace. Melrose is used for 

training such as air to ground, small 

arms, and electronic combat. 

Description of the Air Force Property: 

Approximately 1,240 acres of 

undeveloped rangeland located on the 

southern perimeter of MAFR in 

Township 1S, Ranges 29E and 30E, in 

Roosevelt County, New Mexico. This 

undeveloped land is adjacent to private 

ranchlands owned by Davis Mesa 

Ranch, LLC, Davis Arch Ranch, LLC, 

and Davis Spear Ranch, LLC. The 

ranchland properties represent ideal 

conditions for the commercial 

development of wind energy generation. 

For the exchange of 1,240 acres of Air 

Force real property the owner of these 

properties has agreed to convey 160 

acres of ranchland on the eastern 

perimeter of the range utilizing 10 

U.S.C. 2869 authority. 

In conjunction with the exchange, the 

same landowner has agreed to convey a 

perpetual restrictive use easement on 

29,319 acres to protect those acres 

adjoining MAFR from incompatible 

land uses. 10 U.S.C. 2869 authorizes the 

Air Force to convey real property at an 

installation in exchange for property 

interests to be acquired under the terms 

of an encroachment protection 

agreement executed in accordance with 

Title 10 U.S.C. 2684a. The Air Force 

executed an encroachment management 

agreement with The Conservation Fund 

on July 21, 2017. 

The Air Force has notified the 

appropriate Congressional committees 

of the terms and conditions of the 

proposed exchange pursuant to 10 

U.S.C. 2869(d)(2). 

Authority: 10 U.S.C. 2869(d)(1) and 10 

U.S.C. 2684a(d)(4)(B). 

Dated: July 19, 2018.
