8 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6)(iii) requires the Exchange to give the 

Commission written notice of the Exchange’s intent 

to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief 

description and 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. The Exchange 

has satisfied this requirement. 

9 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 

10 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). 

11For purposes only of waiving the 30-day 

operative delay, the Commission has considered the 

proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition, 

and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 12 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12), (59). 

significantly affect the protection of 

investors or the public interest; (ii) 

impose any significant burden on 

competition; and (iii) become operative 

for 30 days from the date on which it 

was filed, or such shorter time as the 

Commission may designate, if 

consistent with the protection of 

investors and the public interest, the 

proposed rule change has become 

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

of the Act 7 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 

thereunder.8

A proposed rule change filed under 

Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 9 normally does not 

become operative prior to 30 days after 

the date of the filing. However, pursuant 

to Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii),10 the 

Commission may 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 proposed 

rule change may become operative 

immediately. The Commission believes 

that waiving the 30-day operative delay 

is consistent with the protection of 

investors and the public interest 

because the proposal does not raise any 

novel regulatory issues and waiver will 

allow the Exchange to begin receiving 

and using a direct feed from LTSE as 

soon as possible. For this reason, the 

Commission hereby waives the 30-day 

operative delay and designates the 

proposal operative upon filing.11

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

change is consistent with the Act.

Agreement (Chile FTA), the United 

States-Morocco Free Trade Agreement 

(Morocco FTA), the Dominican

Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Chile FTA 

Pursuant to section 201 of the Chile 

FTA Implementation Act (Pub. L. 108– 

77; 19 U.S.C. 3805 note), Presidential 

Proclamation No. 7746 of December 30, 

2003 (68 FR 75789) implemented the 

Chile FTA on behalf of the United States 

and modified the HTSUS to reflect the 

tariff treatment provided for in the Chile 

FTA. 

Note 3(a) to subchapter XXII of 

HTSUS chapter 98 requires USTR 

annually to publish a determination of 

the amount of Chile’s trade surplus, by 

volume, with all sources for goods in 

Harmonized System (HS) subheadings 

1701.12, 1701.13, 1701.14, 1701.91, 

1701.99, 1702.20, 1702.30, 1702.40, 

1702.60, 1702.90, 1806.10, 2101.12, 

2101.20, and 2106.90, except that 

Chile’s imports of goods classified 

under HS subheadings 1702.40 and 

1702.60 that qualify for preferential 

tariff treatment under the Chile FTA are 

not included in the calculation of 

Chile’s trade surplus. 

Note 3(b) to subchapter XXII of 

HTSUS chapter 98 provides duty-free 

treatment for certain sugar and syrup 

goods and sugar-containing products of 

Chile entered under subheading 

9822.02.01 in any calendar year (CY) 

(beginning in CY2016) in the quantity of 

goods equal to the amount of Chile’s 

trade surplus in subdivision (a) of the 

note. During CY2023, the most recent 

year for which data is available, Chile’s 

imports of the sugar and syrup goods 

and sugar-containing products 

described above exceeded its exports of 

those goods by 662,341 metric tons 

according to data published by its 

customs authority, the Servicio 

Nacional de Aduana. Based on this 

data, USTR has determined that Chile 

has a negative trade surplus. Therefore, 

in accordance with U.S. Note 3(b) to 

subchapter XXII of HTSUS chapter 98, 

goods of Chile are not eligible to enter 

the United States duty-free under 

subheading 9822.02.01 in CY2025.

Morocco FTA Implementation Act (Pub.
