Now, at the request of interested parties,
the Commission is extending the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 7,
2006, the Commission published and
sought public comment on proposed
Acceptable Practices for Section 5(d)(15)
of the Act (‘‘Core Principle 15’’). The
proposed Acceptable Practices would
provide designated contract markets
(‘‘DCMs’’) with a safe harbor for
compliance with selected aspects of
Core Principle 15’s requirement that
they minimize conflicts of interest in
their decision-making. The
Commission’s proposal contains four
parts. First, the Board Composition
Acceptable Practice proposes that DCMs
minimize potential conflicts of interest
by maintaining governing boards
composed of at least fifty percent
‘‘public’’ directors. Second, the
proposed Regulatory Oversight
Committee Acceptable Practice calls
upon DCMs to establish board-level
Regulatory Oversight Committees,
composed solely of public directors, to
oversee regulatory functions. Third, the
Disciplinary Panel Acceptable Practice
proposes that each disciplinary panel at
all DCMs include at least one public
participant, and that no panel be
dominated by any group or class of
exchange members. Finally, the
proposed Acceptable Practices provide a
definition of ‘‘public’’ for DCM directors
and for members of disciplinary panels.
By letters dated July 14 and July 17,
2006, the Chicago Board of Trade
(‘‘CBOT’’) and Chicago Mercantile
Exchange (‘‘CME’’), respectively,
requested that the original comment
period be extended. CBOT requested an
extension to at least September 6, and
CME requested an extension to at least
September 7. Recognizing the
significance of the issues raised in the
proposed Acceptable Practices, and to
encourage the submission of meaningful
comments, the Commission has decided
to grant the requests. The comment
period for the Commission’s proposed
Acceptable Practices for Section 5(d)(15)
of the Act is hereby extended to
September 7, 2006.

Background
CBP published a document in the
Federal Register (71 FR 40035) on July
14, 2006, proposing to amend the CBP
Regulations pertaining to the electronic
transmission of passenger manifests for
commercial aircraft arriving in and
departing from the United States and of
passenger and crew manifests for
commercial vessels departing from the
mstockstill on PROD1PC68 with PROPOSALS
United States. The proposed changes
were designed to implement the
mandate of the Intelligence Reform and
Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 to
require screening of aircraft passengers
and vessel passengers and crew
traveling to and from the United States
VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:39 Aug 01, 2006 Jkt 208001
against a government established
terrorist watch list prior to departure.
Thus, the proposed rule provides air
carriers a choice to make manifest
transmissions either for each passenger
as passengers check in for the flight, up
to but no later than 15 minutes prior to
departure, referred to as APIS Quick
Query (AQQ), or in batch form (a
complete manifest containing data for
all passengers) no later than 60 minutes
prior to departure, referred to as APIS
60. The proposed rule also provides for
vessel carriers transmitting passenger
and crew manifests no later than 60
minutes prior to the vessel’s departure
from the United States. In addition, the
proposed rule proposes to change the
definition of ‘‘departure’’ for aircraft to
mean the moment the aircraft pushes
back from the gate to commence its
approach to the point of takeoff (as
opposed to the moment the wheels are
drawn up into the aircraft just after
takeoff).
The document invited the public to
comment on the proposal, including the
Regulatory Assessment containing an
analysis of the expected economic
impact of the changes. The Regulatory
Assessment is posted on http://
www.regulations.gov and on the CBP
Web site at http://www.cbp.gov (it is
also summarized in the proposed rule).
Comments on the proposed rule were
requested on or before August 14, 2006.
Extension of Comment Period
In response to the proposed rule
published in the Federal Register, CBP
has received comments from the Air
Transport Association (ATA), the Air
Carrier Association of America (ACAA),
and the International Air Transport
Association (IATA), requesting an
extension of the comment period for an
additional 60 days. CBP has determined
to grant the requests for extension.
Accordingly, the period of time for the
submission of comments is being
extended 60 days. Comments are now
due on or before October 12, 2006.

Spectrum Requirements for Advanced
Medical Technologies
AGENCY: Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
SUMMARY: This document focuses on
ways to better accommodate the
operation of implanted and body-worn
medical transmitters in the 400 MHz
band. These devices use wireless
technologies for increasingly
sophisticated and beneficial health care
applications. Such applications
currently include cardiac defibrillators
for heart patients and real-time blood
sugar monitoring devices for diabetics,
and may, in the future, include
applications as diverse as brain, muscle
and nerve stimulation techniques for
treating an array of conditions from
Parkinson’s disease to severe chronic
depression. The Commission tentatively
concludes that modifying its current
rules and designating an additional two
megahertz of spectrum in the adjacent
401–402 MHz and 405–406 MHz bands)
would appropriately provide needed
capacity and more flexible operating
rules for beneficial medical radio
communication devices and thereby
serve the public interest.
DATES: Comments must be filed on or
before October 31, 2006, and reply
comments must be filed on or before
December 4, 2006.
