### 15381 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 53 / Wednesday, March 19, 2014 / Notices

3 CME notes that the CEA contains a number of provisions that are comparable to the policies underlying the Exchange Act, including, for example, promoting market transparency for derivatives markets, promoting the prompt and accurate clearance of transactions and protecting investors and the public interest. 4 15 U.S.C. 78q–1(b)(3)(F). 5 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12).

The new language is intended to address timely reporting of required financial information. To the extent a firm shows a pattern or practice of late submissions that could potentially indicate insufficient internal accounting controls or procedures, CME notes that there are separate existing processes available via the Clearing House Risk Committee which can result in additional disciplinary sanctions in appropriate circumstances. The imposing of an administrative fee that is the subject of this provision is not intended to replace these existing Clearing House Risk Committee processes. Rather, the new language is intended to supplement these processes by giving CME the ability to impose a $1,000 administrative fee on clearing members for each late submission of required reports.

CME plans to operationalize the proposed changes on April 15, 2014, pending applicable regulatory reviews and approvals. CME has also made filings with the CFTC, Submission No. 13–581 and Submission No. 14–023, regarding the proposed changes.

CME, a derivatives clearing organization, notes that it is implementing the proposed changes as part of an effort to discharge its regulatory obligations under the Commodity Exchange Act (‘‘CEA’’) more effectively. 3 CME believes the proposed rule changes are also entirely consistent with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Section 17A of the Exchange Act. The proposed changes enhance CME’s self-regulatory organization function by providing the ability to assess a $1,000 administrative fee on clearing members for late submissions of financial information to CME’s FRSD. These changes will strengthen CME’s self-regulatory organization function and will encourage more accurate financial reporting by clearing members, which are goals that are clearly designed to promote the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions and, to the extent applicable, derivatives agreements, contracts, and transactions, to assure the safeguarding of securities and funds which are in the custody or control of CME or for which it is responsible, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest in a way that is consistent with Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Exchange Act. 4
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition

CME does not believe that the proposed rule change will have any impact, or impose any burden, on competition. The proposed changes will give CME the ability to impose a $1,000 administrative fee on clearing members for the late submission of required reports and financial information.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

CME has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit, comments regarding this proposed rule change. CME has not received any unsolicited written comments from interested parties.

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

(B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved.

**Notice of Intent To Rule on Request To Release Airport Property at the Malin**  **Airport, Malin, Oregon**

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Request for public comments.

**SUMMARY :**  The FAA proposes to rule and invite public comment on the release of land at Malin Airport under the provisions of Section 125 of the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21), now 49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2).

The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, HR 658, section 817, gave the Secretary of Transportation the authorization to grant an airport, city, or county release from any of the terms, conditions, reservations, or restrictions contained in a deed under which the United States conveyed to the airport, city, or county an interest in real property for airport purposes pursuant to section 16 of the Federal Airport Act (60 Stat. 179) or section 23 of the Airport and Airway Development Act of 1970 (84 Stat. 232).

On March 7, 2014, the FAA determined that the request to release property at the Malin Airport submitted by the City of Malin meets the procedural requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration.

The City of Malin is proposing the release from the terms, conditions, reservations, and restrictions on a 0.14 acre parcel of property by an instrument of disposal dated August 16, 1951. The property was conveyed to the City of Malin under Section 16 of the Surplus Property Act of 1944 to be used in
