Applicability: Model Mystere-Falcon 50

series airplanes having serial numbers 2

category.

Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane

identified in the preceding applicability

provision, regardless of whether it has been

modified, altered, or repaired in the area

subject to the requirements of this AD. For

airplanes that have been modified, altered, or

repaired so that the performance of the

requirements of this AD is affected, the

owner/operator must use the authority

provided in paragraph (b) to request approval

from the FAA. This approval may address

either no action, if the current configuration

eliminates the unsafe condition; or different

actions necessary to address the unsafe

condition described in this AD. Such a

request should include an assessment of the

effect of the changed configuration on the

unsafe condition addressed by this AD. In no

case does the presence of any modification,

alteration, or repair remove any airplane from

the applicability of this AD.

Compliance: Required as indicated, unless

accomplished previously.

To prevent an electrical fire due to damage

of the electrical wire bundles, accomplish the

following:

(a) Within 20 days after the effective date

of this AD, measure the clearance between

the electrical bundles in the left-hand cabinet

and the counterbalancing actuator of the

passenger door, in accordance with Dassault

Aviation Alert Service Bulletin F50–A243

(F50–A39–1), Revision 1, dated November

10, 1994.

(1) If the clearances are within the limits

specified in the alert service bulletin, no

further action is required by this AD.

(2) If the clearances are outside the limits

specified in the alert service bulletin, prior to

further flight, reroute and clamp the wire

bundles in accordance with the alert service

bulletin.

(b) An alternative method of compliance or

adjustment of the compliance time that

provides an acceptable level of safety may be

used if approved by the Manager,

Standardization Branch, ANM–113, FAA,

Transport Airplane Directorate. Operators

shall submit their requests through an

appropriate FAA Principal Maintenance

Inspector, who may add comments and then

send it to the Manager, Standardization

Branch, ANM–113.

Note 2: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this AD, if any, may be

obtained from the Standardization Branch,

ANM–113.

(c) Special flight permits may be issued in

accordance with sections 21.197 and 21.199

of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

21.197 and 21.199) to operate the airplane to

a location where the requirements of this AD

can be accomplished.

(d) The measuring, rerouting, and clamping

shall be done in accordance with Dassault

Aviation Alert Service Bulletin F50–A243

(F50–A39–1), Revision 1, dated November

10, 1994. This incorporation by reference was

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE

COMMISSION

17 CFR Part 200

[Release No. 34–35151]

Delegation of Authority

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange

Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) is

amending Rule 30–3 of the Rules of

Practice and Investigations to delegate

to the Director of the Division of Market

Regulation (‘‘Division’’) certain

functions relating to proposed bylaw

and rule changes filed by the Securities

Investor Protection Corporation

(‘‘SIPC’’). This amendment is intended

to conserve the Commission’s resources

and to relieve the Commission of the

burden of considering routine matters

relating to SIPC’s operation.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 3, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Michael A. Macchiaroli, 202/942–0132,

Harry Melamed, 202/942–0134, or

Elizabeth K. King, 202/942–0140.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

Sections 3(e)(1) and 3(e)(2) of the

Securities Investor Protection Act of

1970 (‘‘SIPA’’) require SIPC to file

proposed bylaw and rule amendments

with the Commission, and require,

among other things, the Commission to

publish proposed rule amendments and

certain proposed bylaw amendments.

Because most proposed bylaw

amendments are routine and do not

merit the Commissions’s attention, and

because publication of proposed rule

changes, along with certain proposed

bylaw changes, is statutorily required,

the Commission is delegating certain of

the functions relating to the proposed

bylaw and rule change filings to the

Director of the Division.

II. Requirement Under SIPA Regarding

Bylaw and Rule Changes Proposed by

SIPC

Section 3(e)(1) of SIPA requires SIPC

to file any proposed bylaw change with

the Commission. Such a proposed

bylaw amendment becomes effective

thirty days after the date it is filed,

unless the Commission either notifies

SIPC that it disapproves the proposed

bylaw change as being contrary to the

public interest or to the purposes of

SIPA, or that it has found that the

proposed bylaw change involves matters

of significant public interest. The

Commission also has the authority to

designate an effective date earlier than

30 days after filing. In those instances in

which the Commission notifies SIPC

that the proposed bylaw amendment

involves matters of significant public

interest, the Commission may, in

accordance with the procedures set

forth in section 3(e)(2) of SIPA, publish

notice of the proposed bylaw

amendment and provide opportunity for

public comment. After public comment,

the proposed bylaw change becomes

effective only after it is approved by the

Commission, or otherwise is permitted

to become effective under section 3(e)(2)

of SIPA.

SIPC, under section 3(e)(2) of SIPA,

also must file proposed rule

amendments with the Commission. The

Commission is required to publish

notices of proposed rule amendments

and provide an opportunity for the

public to comment. The proposed rule

change may not take effect unless it is

approved by the Commission, or

otherwise is permitted to become

effective under section 3(e)(2) of SIPA.

2 15 U.S.C. § 553(b)(A).

III. Delegation of Authority to the

Director of the Division of Market

Regulation

In the absence of a delegation of

authority, the Commission is required to

consider each bylaw and rule change

proposed by SIPC. In order to relieve the

Commission from the burden of

considering routine matters regarding

the operation of SIPC, the Commission

is delegating certain of its authority

under sections 3(e)(1) and (3)(e)(2) of

SIPA to the Director of the Division.

Specifically, the Commission is

delegating its authority under section

3(e)(1) to the Director of the Division to

make a determination, and to notify

SIPC of this determination, as to

whether a proposed bylaw change (i)

should not be disapproved and,

therefore, become effective 30 days after

filing or (ii) involves matters of such

significant public interest that public

comment should be obtained. In

addition, the Commission is delegating

authority to the Director of the Division

to accelerate the effective date of a

bylaw change. Finally, the Commission

is delegating its authority to publish for

comment, in accordance with section

3(e)(2) of SIPA, those proposed bylaw

changes determined to be matters of

significant public interest, as well as all

proposed rule changes. The

Commission, however, will retain its

authority to approve proposed bylaw

and rule amendments after the comment

period is completed.

Accordingly, the Commission is

amending Rule 30–3 of the Rules of

Practice and Investigations (‘‘Rule 30–

3’’).1 Notwithstanding these delegations

of authority, the Division will bring any

significant proposed bylaw or rule

amendments to the Commission’s

attention for its consideration.

The Commission finds, in accordance

with section 553(b)(A) of the

Administrative Procedures Act,2 that

these amendments relate solely to

agency organization and procedure, and

do not relate to a substantive rule.

Accordingly, notice and opportunity for

public comment are unnecessary, and

publication of the amendment 30 days

before its effective date also is

unnecessary.

States and its territories and

possessions, the period during which

the Commission must affirm, reverse or

amend any determination by SIPC; and

(ii) Affirm such determination filed by

SIPC.

(2) Pursuant to Section (3)(e)(1) of

SIPA, to:

(i) Determine whether proposed

bylaw changes filed by SIPC should not

be disapproved or whether the proposed

bylaw change is a matter of such

significant public interest that public

comment should be obtained, in which

case the Division will notify SIPC of

such finding and publish notice of the

proposed bylaw change in accordance

with Section 3(e)(2) of SIPA; and

(ii) Accelerate the effective date of

proposed bylaw changes filed by SIPC.

(3) Pursuant to Section (3)(e)(2) of
