Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 58 / Thursday, March 26, 2015 / Notices 16077 

39 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). 

40 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). As required under Rule 

19b–4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange provided the 

Commission with written notice of its intent to file 

the proposed rule change, along with a brief 

description and the text of the proposed rule 

change, at least five business days prior to the date 

of filing of the proposed rule change, or such 

shorter time as designated by the Commission. 

41 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 

42 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). 

43See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 74509 

(March 13, 2015), 80 FR 14425 (March 19, 2015) 

(SR–MIAX–2015–04). 

44For purposes only of waiving the 30-day 

operative delay, the Commission has also 

considered the proposed rule’s impact on 

efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 

15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 45 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

which it was filed, or such shorter time 

as the Commission may designate, the 

proposed rule change has become 

effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) 

of the Act 39 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 

thereunder.40

A proposed rule change filed 

pursuant to Rule 19b–4(f)(6) under the 

Act 41 normally does not become 

operative for 30 days after the date of its 

filing. However, Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) 42

permits the Commission to designate a 

shorter time if such action is consistent 

with the protection of investors and the 

public interest. The Exchange has asked 

the Commission to waive the 30-day 

operative delay so that the proposal may 

become operative immediately upon 

filing. The Exchange stated that waiver 

of the operative delay will permit the 

Exchange to list and trade certain ETF 

options on the same basis as another 

options market.43 The Commission 

believes the waiver of the operative 

delay is consistent with the protection 

of investors and the public interest. 

Therefore, the Commission hereby 

waives the operative delay and 

designates the proposal operative upon 

filing.44

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. If the 

Commission takes such action, the 

Commission shall institute proceedings 

to determine whether the proposed rule 

should be approved or disapproved. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments

submit written data, views and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Section 804 of the FAA 

Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 

(Pub. L. 112–95) requires the FAA to 

develop a plan for realigning and 

consolidating facilities in an effort to 

support the transition to NextGen and 

reduce costs where such cost reductions 

can be implemented without adversely 

affecting safety. To address Section 804 

requirements, the FAA formed a 

collaborative workgroup of 

representatives from the FAA and 

NATCA and PASS Labor Unions to 

develop a comprehensive process to 

analyze different realignment and 

consolidation scenarios. The 

collaborative process takes into account 

the following factors and criteria when 

prioritizing facilities for realignment 

analysis: NextGen readiness; the 

Terminal Automation program 

schedule; operational and airspace 

factors; existing facility conditions and 

workforce needs; industry stakeholder 

input; and the costs and benefits 

associated with each potential 

realignment alternative. 

In 2014, the collaborative workgroup 

initiated activities to evaluate existing 

Terminal Radar Approach Control 

(TRACON) facilities and prioritize them 

for annual analysis; develop an initial 

set of realignment scenarios and define 

alternatives for each scenario; collect 

facility and operational data, and 

document system requirements; 

document facility, equipment, 

infrastructure, operational and safety 

data; capture qualitative workforce 

considerations, including training, 

transition, facility, and potential 

workforce impacts of potential 

realignments; consider potential 

impacts on operations, airspace 

modifications, route/fixes changes, 

arrival/departure procedures, intra/

inter-facility coordination, and aviation 

community interaction; collect and 

consider industry stakeholder inputs; 

document and quantify benefits and 

cost of potential realignments; and 

develop a recommendation for each 

realignment scenario. The 

recommendations for the first two 

scenarios analyzed by the Section 804 

collaborative workgroup are contained 

in the report entitled ‘‘FAA National 

Facilities Realignment and 

Consolidation Report Year 1, Part 1 

Recommendations,’’ a copy of which 

has been placed in the docket for this 

notice. The docket may be accessed at 

http://www.regulations.gov. A copy of 

the report has also been made available 

on the FAA’s Web site at http://

www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/

rulemaking/recently_published/. 

The realignment recommendations 

outlined in the Year 1 Part 1 report are 

the result of a collaborative process that 

involved a multi-disciplinary team of 

FAA subject matter experts, financial 

analysts, operational experts, and Labor 

and FAA leadership participants. The 

Section 804 process serves as a stable 

foundation for future realignment 

analyses and recommendations. The 

process aims to maximize operational, 

administrative, and maintenance 

efficiencies and deliver the highest 

value to stakeholders. 

The FAA is requesting comments on 

this report pursuant to Section 804 of 

the FAA Modernization and Reform Act 

of 2012. The agency will consider all 

comments received on or before May 11, 

2015. Following a 60-day comment 

review period, the final report along 

with public comments will be submitted 

to Congress. The FAA continues to 

analyze data collected from facilities 

across the United States and evaluate 

possible realignment scenarios. The 

FAA will make its next 

recommendations when it submits Part 

2 of the report in mid-2015.
