Event Contracts; Withdrawal of Proposed Regulatory Action

5386 Federal Register / Vol. 91, No. 25 / Friday, February 6, 2026 / Proposed Rules procedures the Administrator finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action. Regulatory Findings The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed regulation: (1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866, (2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety. The Proposed Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows: PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES ■ 1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. § 39.13 [Amended] ■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness directive: The Boeing Company: Docket No. FAA– 2026–0741; Project Identifier AD–2025– 00817–T. (a) Comments Due Date The FAA must receive comments on this airworthiness directive (AD) by March 23, 2026. (b) Affected ADs None.

(d) Subject Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 23, Communications. (e) Unsafe Condition This AD was prompted by a report of corrosion found on a satellite communications (SATCOM) high gain antenna adapter plate. The FAA is issuing this AD to address corrosion of the adapter plate, which could lead to a part departing airplane (PDA). A PDA event of the SATCOM high gain antenna adapter system could damage the primary flight control surfaces, which could result in loss of continued safe flight and landing. (f) Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done. (g) Required Actions Except as specified by paragraph (h) of this AD: At the applicable times specified in the ‘‘Compliance’’ paragraph of Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 777–23A0454 RB, dated May 16, 2025, do all applicable actions identified in, and in accordance with, the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 777–23A0454 RB, dated May 16, 2025.

Information may be emailed to: AMOC@ faa.gov. Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager of the responsible Flight Standards Office. (2) An AMOC that provides an acceptable level of safety may be used for any repair, modification, or alteration required by this AD if it is approved by The Boeing Company Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) that has been authorized by the Manager, AIR–520, Continued Operational Safety Branch, FAA, to make those findings.

DATES: The Commission is withdrawing the proposed rules published at 89 FR 48968 (June 10, 2024) as of February 4, 2026. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Frank Fisanich, Acting Director, (202) 418–5949, ffisanich@cftc.gov, Division of Market Oversight, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Three Lafayette Centre, 1155 21st Street NW, Washington, DC 20581. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On June 10, 2024, the Commission published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register proposing amendments to its rules concerning event contracts in certain excluded commodities. Specifically, the Commission proposed amendments to further specify types of event contracts that fall within the scope of section 5c(c)(5)(C) of the Commodity Exchange Act (‘‘CEA’’) 1 and are contrary to the public interest, such that they may not be listed for trading or accepted for clearing on or through a CFTC￾registered entity. Among other things, the Commission proposed to further specify the types of event contracts that involve ‘‘gaming.’’ Withdrawal of Proposed Rules The Commission is withdrawing these proposed rules to reconsider them in light of various forms of state regulatory actions and litigation concerning the Commission’s exclusive jurisdiction over event contract derivatives listed on designated contract markets and the proper application of the swap and excluded commodity definitions under the Commodity Exchange Act, including issues related to the preemption of state gambling, wagering, and gaming laws in relation to sports-related event contracts laws and what activities constitute ‘‘gaming’’ under the CEA.2 Thus, the Commission no longer intends to issue final rules with respect to the proposal. If the Commission decides to pursue future regulatory action in this area, it will do so by publishing new proposed rules or other issuance consistent with the requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act, as applicable. Executive Order 12866 The Office of Management and Budget has determined that this action is not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866, as amended, and therefore it was not subject to Executive Order 12866 review. Issued in Washington, DC, on February 4, 2026, by the Commission. Christopher Kirkpatrick, Secretary of the Commission. Note: The following appendix will not appear in the Code of Federal Regulations. Event Contracts; Withdrawal of Proposed Regulatory Action— Commission Voting Summary On this matter, Chairman Selig voted in the affirmative. No Commissioner voted in the negative.
