50 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

will inform its Equity Trading Permit 

Holders in an Information Bulletin of 

the special characteristics and risks 

associated with trading the Shares. 

Trading in Shares of the Funds will be 

halted if the circuit breaker parameters 

in NYSE Arca Equities Rule 7.12 have 

been reached or because of market 

conditions or for reasons that, in the 

view of the Exchange, make trading in 

the Shares inadvisable, and trading in 

the Shares will be subject to NYSE Arca 

Equities Rule 8.600(d)(2)(D), which sets 

forth circumstances under which Shares 

of the Funds may be halted. In addition, 

as noted above, investors will have 

ready access to information regarding 

the Funds’ holdings, the IOPV, the 

Disclosed Portfolio, and quotation and 

last sale information for the Shares. 

The proposed rule change is designed 

to perfect the mechanism of a free and 

open market and, in general, to protect 

investors and the public interest in that 

it will facilitate the listing and trading 

of additional types of actively-managed 

exchange-traded products that will 

enhance competition among market 

participants, to the benefit of investors 

and the marketplace. As noted above, 

the Exchange may obtain information 

regarding trading in the Shares from 

markets and other entities that are 

members of ISG or with which the 

Exchange has in place a comprehensive 

surveillance sharing agreement. In 

addition, as noted above, investors will 

have ready access to information 

regarding the Funds’ holdings, the 

IOPV, the Disclosed Portfolio, and 

quotation and last sale information for 

the Shares. 

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. The 

Exchange notes that the proposed rule 

change will facilitate the listing and 

trading of additional types of activelymanaged exchange-traded products that 

hold fixed income securities and will 

enhance competition among market 

participants, to the benefit of investors 

and the marketplace. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

No written comments were solicited 

or received with respect to the proposed 

rule change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

Within 45 days of the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register or within such longer period 

up to 90 days (i) as the Commission may 

designate if it finds such longer period 

to be appropriate and publishes its 

reasons for so finding or (ii) as to which 

the self-regulatory organization 

consents, the Commission will: 

(A) by order approve or disapprove 

the proposed rule change, or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background 

On August 30, 2012, the ARAC 

Executive Committee accepted the 

FAA’s assignment of a new task arising 

from recommendations of the Airman 

Testing Standards and Training 

Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC). 

The ARC recommended ways to ensure 

that the FAA’s airman testing and 

training materials better support 

reduction of fatal general aviation 

accidents. The new task instructed the 

ARAC to integrate aeronautical 

knowledge and flight proficiency 

requirements for the private pilot and 

flight instructor certificates and the 

instrument rating into a single ACS 

document for each type of certificate 

and rating; to develop a detailed 

proposal to realign FAA training 

handbooks with the ACS documents; 

and to propose knowledge test item 

bank questions consistent with the 

integrated ACS documents and the 

principles set forth in the ARC’s 

recommendations. 

The FAA announced the ARAC’s 

acceptance of this task through a 

Federal Register Notice published on 

September 12, 2012 [77 FR 56251]. This 

Notice described the task elements and 

solicited participants for the ATSTWG, 

which subsequently formed and began 

its work in November 2012. 

Consistent with the first part of this 

tasking, the ATSTWG developed draft 

ACS documents that align the 

aeronautical knowledge testing 

standards with the flight proficiency 

standards set out in the existing 

Practical Test Standards (PTS). In 

addition to supporting the FAA’s effort 

to improve the relevance, reliability, 

validity, and effectiveness of 

aeronautical testing and training 

materials, the draft ACS documents 

support the FAA’s goal of reducing fatal 

general aviation accidents by 

incorporating task-specific risk 

management considerations into each 

Area of Operation. 

The ATSTWG completed its initial 

work on the ACS for the private pilot 

certificate and the instrument rating in 

April, 2013. At the request of the 

ATSTWG, the FAA made these 

documents available for public 

comment through docket number FAA– 

2013–0316. The comment period for the 

notice published on April 24, 2013 (78 

FR 24289) closed May 24, 2013. Also at 

the request of the ATSTWG, the FAA 

reopened the comment period until July 

8, 2013. 

During these periods, the ATSTWG 

received more than 300 comments and 

questions on the draft ACS for the 

private pilot certificate and the 

instrument rating. The ATSTWG has 

used these comments to inform and 

refine its continuing work on this 

project, and has consequently asked the 

FAA to make the revised versions of 

these documents available for on 

additional period of public review and 

comment before it completes its work in 

September, 2013. 

In addition, the ATSTWG has 

completed its initial draft of the 

authorized instructor ACS document. 

The purpose of the authorized instructor 

ACS is to define the acceptable 

performance standards for instructional 

knowledge and skill, including the 

Fundamentals of Instructing (FOI) 

concepts listed in 14 CFR part 61. 

Consistent with its desire for comments 

to help refine its work, the ATSTWG 

has asked the FAA to make this 

document available for public comment 

as well. 

In making this document available, 

the ATSTWG wishes to note that while 

the draft authorized instructor ACS 

follows the overall conceptual 

framework developed for the private 

pilot ACS and the instrument rating 

ACS, its construction reflects 

fundamental differences between the 

family of pilot certificates/ratings and 

the instructor certificate. The core of the 

authorized instructor ACS addresses 

practical application of the instructional 

concepts and techniques presented in 

the traditional FOI. The authorized 

instructor ACS uses appendices to 

define the acceptable standards for 

knowledge, skill, and risk management 

in the aeronautical proficiency tasks 

unique to a particular instructor 

certificate or rating.
