telephone, and proposes instead to rely
on the requirement that DMMs comply
with current Rule 98 and the Exchange’s
proposed general requirement that
DMM units establish policies and
procedures reasonably designed to
ensure that the use of communication
devices is consistent with all SEC rules
and Exchange rules. DMMs, however,
have a unique position on the Trading
Floor and would still have access to
non-public aggregate order
information—namely before the open or
until a security opens for trading; while
trading is halted and until a security is
reopened for trading; and after the end
of Core Trading Hours. DMMs would
also continue to have the ability to
observe negotiations and other
interactions on the Trading Floor.
Accordingly, Commission seeks
comments regarding the sufficiency of
the remaining Exchange rules to address
concerns regarding the unique access to,
and potential misuse of, non-public
trading, issuer, and other information,
including the Floor-based non-public
order information as it is currently
defined in the rules. Do the changes to
remove DMMs’ access to intraday
aggregate order information and
eliminate DMMs’ involvement in cross
transactions sufficiently limit DMMs
ability to obtain non-public information
such that prescriptive restrictions on
DMM communication from the Trading
Floor, including those listed issuer
contact, is no longer necessary? Do they
mitigate concerns that restrictions
pertaining to Floor-based non-public
order information are meant to address?
In addition to the above requests for
comments, the Commission also seeks
comments regarding the Exchange’s
proposal relating to the following:
1. The Exchange proposes to use the
last consolidated trade rather than the
last trade on the Exchange in the
definition of Aggressing Transaction.
The Exchange states that the last
consolidated trade is a more meaningful
benchmark for the underlying security.
What effect would this change have for
the operation of Rule 104?
2. The Exchange proposes to delete
Rule 104A in its entirety, including
DMM recordkeeping and/or reporting
obligations pertaining to securities,
options, single stock futures, and foreign
securities. According to the Exchange, it
is appropriate to delete the rule as it is
duplicative of Exchange and SEC books
and recordkeeping requirements. Do
commenters agree? Why or why not?
3. The Exchange also proposes to
delete in Rule 36.30 the provision that
stipulates that DMMs can only enter
proprietary order in Component
Securities of Investment Company Units

or Trust Issued Receipts for the purpose
of hedging a position in the Investment
Company Units or Trust Issued
Receipts. According to the Exchange,
this provision is obsolete but does not
explain why. Do commenters agree with
the Exchange’s statement that the
provision is obsolete?
IV. Procedure: Request for Written
Comments
The Commission requests that
interested persons provide written
submissions of their views, data, and
arguments with respect to the issues
identified above, as well as any other
concerns they may have with the
proposal. In particular, the Commission
invites the written views of interested
persons concerning whether the
proposal is consistent with Section
6(b)(5) 23 of the Act or any other
provision of the Act, or the rules and
regulations thereunder. Although there
do not appear to be any issues relevant
to approval or disapproval that would
be facilitated by an oral presentation of
views, data, and arguments, the
Commission will consider, pursuant to
Rule 19b–4 under the Act,24 any request
for an opportunity to make an oral
presentation.25
Interested persons are invited to
submit written data, views, and
arguments regarding whether the
proposal should be approved or
disapproved by March 7, 2024. Any
person who wishes to file a rebuttal to
any other person’s submission must file
that rebuttal by March 21, 2024.

Abstract of Proposed Collection
The Office of Emergencies in the
Diplomatic and Consular Service
(EDCS) manages the solicitation and
acceptance of gifts to the U.S.
Department of State. The information
requested via donor letters is a
necessary first step to accepting
donations. The information is sought
pursuant to 22 U.S.C. 2697, 5 U.S.C.
7324 and 22 CFR part 3, and will be
used by EDCS’s Gift Fund Coordinator
to demonstrate the donor’s intention to
donate either an in-kind or monetary
gift to the Department. This information
is mandatory and must be completed
before the gift is received by the
Department.
Methodology
The information collection forms are
available electronically via the State
Department’s Intranet website (https://
myapps.servicenowservices) for program
offices who have authority to solicit or
accept donations on behalf of the
Department. Donors can also request
and complete hard copies of the form if
internet access is not available. After
completion, the donor mails all forms to
EDCS.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE
[Public Notice: 12327]

Office of the Chief of Protocol; Gifts to
Federal Employees From Foreign
Government Sources Reported to
Employing Agencies in Calendar Year
2022

in accordance with applicable law and
GSA regulations.
The Office of the Chief of Protocol,
Department of State, submits the
following comprehensive listing of the
statements which, as required by law,
federal employees filed with their
employing agencies during calendar
year 2022 concerning gifts received from
foreign government sources. The
compilation includes reports of both
tangible gifts and gifts of travel or travel
expenses of more than minimal value,
as defined in 5 U.S.C. 7432 and GSA
regulations. For calendar year 2022
(January 1, 2022 through December 31,
2022), minimal value is $415.00.
Pursuant to Title 22 of the Code of
Federal Regulations Section 3.4, the
report includes all gifts given on a single
occasion when the aggregate value of
those gifts exceeds minimal value. Also
included are gifts received in previous
years including two from 2019, three
from 2020, and nineteen from 2021.
These latter gifts are being reported in
this year’s report for calendar year 2022
because the Office of the Chief of
Protocol, Department of State, did not
receive the relevant information at the
time of reporting to include them in
earlier reports. Agencies not listed in
this report either did not receive
relevant gifts during the calendar year,
did not transmit a listing to the
Secretary of State of all statements filed
during the preceding year by the
employees of that agency pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 7432(f)(1), or did not respond to
the State Department’s Office of the
Chief of Protocol’s request for data. The
U.S. Senate maintains an internal
minimal value of $100; therefore, all
gifts over the $100 limit are furnished in
the U.S. Senate report.
Publication of this listing in the
Federal Register is required by section
7342(f) of Title 5, United States Code, as
added by section 515(a)(1) of the
Foreign Relations Authorization Act,
Fiscal Year 1978 (Pub. L. 95–105,
August 17, 1977, 91 Stat. 865).
John R. Bass,
Under Secretary for Management, U.S.
Department of State.

All information reported to the Office
of the Chief of Protocol, including gift
appraisal and donor information, is the
responsibility of the employing agency,
