SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 11, 2005, the Commission 

published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking that sought comment on 

proposed amendments to Commission 

Regulations 1.10(h), 1.17(c), 145.5, and 

147.3.1 The proposed amendments, if 

adopted, would permit qualifying 

futures commission merchants 

(‘‘FCMs’’) that are also registered as 

securities broker-dealers (‘‘BDs’’) to use 

certain alternative capital charges 

approved by the Securities and 

Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’). The 

proposed amendments also addressed 

confidential treatment for the new 

reports and statements that FCM/BDs 

using the alternative capital charges 

would be required to file, and also 

addressed the confidential treatment of 

certain other information that all FCM/ 

BDs must file with both the Commission 

and the SEC. The release published in 

the Federal Register also included 

proposed amendments to reduce the 

capital deductions specified in 

Regulation 1.17 for uncovered inventory 

or forward contracts in specified foreign 

currencies.2

The Commission established a 30-day 

period for submitting public comment 

on the proposed amendments, ending 

November 10, 2005. By letter dated 

November 9, 2005, an association of 

securities industry participants, whose 

members include firms that are 

registered as FCMs and BDs, requested 

an extension of the original comment 

period.3 In response to this request, and 

in order to ensure that an adequate 

opportunity is provided for submission 

of meaningful comments, the 

Commission has determined to reopen 

the comment period on the proposed 

amendments until seven days from the 

date of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on November 

17, 2005, by the Commission.

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans and Designation 

of Areas for Air Quality Planning 

Purposes; Indiana; Redesignation of 

Vigo County 8-Hour Ozone 

Nonattainment Area to Attainment for 

Ozone 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to make a 

determination that the Vigo County 

ozone nonattainment area has attained 

the 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air 

Quality Standard (NAAQS). This 

proposed determination is based on 

three years of complete, quality-assured 

ambient air quality monitoring data for 

the 2002–2004 seasons that demonstrate 

that the 8-hour ozone NAAQS has been 

attained in the area. 

EPA is proposing to approve a request 

from the State of Indiana to redesignate 

Vigo County to attainment of the 8-hour 

ozone NAAQS. This request was 

submitted by the Indiana Department of 

Environmental Management (IDEM) on 

July 5, 2005 and supplemented on 

October 20, 2005 and November 4, 2005. 

In proposing to approve this request, 

EPA is also proposing to approve the 

State’s plan for maintaining the 8-hour 

ozone NAAQS in this area through 2015 

as a revision to the Indiana State 

Implementation Plan (SIP). EPA is also 

finding adequate and is proposing to 

approve the State’s 2015 Motor Vehicle 

Emission Budgets (MVEBs) for this area. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before December 23, 2005.
