IV. Commission’s Findings and Order 

Granting Accelerated Approval of the 

Proposed Rule Change 

After careful consideration, the 

Commission finds that the proposed 

rule change is consistent with the 

requirements of the Act and the rules 

and regulations thereunder applicable to 

a national securities exchange.8 In 

particular, the Commission finds that 

the proposed rule change is consistent 

with section 6(b)(5) of the Act,9 which 

requires that the rules of an exchange be 

designed to prevent fraudulent and 

manipulative acts and practices, to 

promote just and equitable principles of 

trade, to remove impediments to and 

perfect the mechanism of a free and 

open market and a national market 

system, and, in general, to protect 

investors and the public interest. The 

proposal is narrowly tailored to address 

the circumstances where an equity 

option class is currently ineligible for 

initial listing on the Exchange even 

though it meets the Exchange’s 

continued listing standards and is 

trading on another options exchange. 

Allowing CBOE to list and trade options 

on such underlying securities should 

help promote competition among the 

exchanges that list and trade options. 

The Commission notes, and the 

Exchange represents, that the 

procedures that the Exchange currently 

employs to determine whether a 

particular underlying security meets the 

initial equity option listing criteria for 

the Exchange will similarly be applied 

when determining whether an 

underlying security meets the 

Exchange’s continued listing criteria. 

The Commission finds good cause, 

pursuant to section 19(b)(2)(B) of the 

Act,10 for approving the proposed rule 

change prior to the 30th day after the 

publication of the notice of the filing 

thereof in the Federal Register. The 

Commission notes that the proposed 

rule change is substantially identical to 

the proposed rule change submitted by 

the American Stock Exchange LLC,11

which was previously approved by the 

Commission after an opportunity for 

notice and comment, and therefore does 

not raise any new regulatory issues. 

V. Conclusion 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

section 19(b)(2) of the Act,12 that the 

proposed rule change (SR–CBOE–2007–

114), as amended, be, and it hereby is, 

approved on an accelerated basis. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated 

authority.13

Nancy M. Morris, 

Secretary.

Announcement of Application 

Procedure and Deadlines for the Truck 

Parking Initiative 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice; solicitation of 

applications. 

SUMMARY: This notice solicits 

applications for the truck parking 

initiative for which funding is available 

under section 1305 of the Safe, 

Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 

Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for 

Users (SAFETEA–LU). SAFETEA–LU 

directed the Secretary to establish a 

pilot program to address the shortage of 

long-term parking for commercial motor 

vehicles on the National Highway 

System. States, metropolitan planning 

organizations (MPOs) and local 

governments are eligible for the funding 

available for fiscal years (FY) 2006–

2009. Section 1305 allows for a wide 

range of eligible projects, ranging from 

construction of spaces and other capital 

improvements to using intelligent 

transportation systems (ITS) technology 

to increase information on the 

availability of both public and private 

commercial vehicle parking spaces. For 

purposes of this program, long-term 

parking is defined as parking available 

for 10 or more consecutive hours. 

DATES: Applications must be received 

by the FHWA Division Office no later 

than February 14, 2008.

I. Background 

The Truck Parking Initiative furthers 

the goals of the Department of 

Transportation’s new National Strategy 

to Reduce Congestion on America’s 

Transportation Network, announced on 

May 16, 2006.1 By creating a program 

that provides funds to address long-term 

truck parking on the National Highway 

System, the Department anticipates that 

commercial motor vehicles will be 

better able to plan rest stops and better 

time their transit or loading/unloading 

within urban areas, thereby reducing the 

urban area’s congestion. 

The shortage of long-term truck 

parking on the National Highway 

System (NHS) is a problem that needs 

to be addressed. The 2002 FHWA 

Report ‘‘Study of Adequacy of Parking 

Facilities’’ 2 indicated that while truck 

parking shortages are either non-existent 

or corridor-specific in some States, 

severe and pervasive shortages exist in 

some States and regions. The report 

recommendations include expansion or 

improvement of public rest areas; 

expansion or improvement of 

commercial truck stops and travel 

plazas; use of public-private 

partnerships; educating or informing 

drivers about available spaces; and 

changing current parking rules. This 

lack of available parking not only adds 

to congestion in urban areas, but also 

may affect safety by reducing the 

opportunities for drivers to obtain rest 

needed to comply with the Federal 

Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, Hours
