SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it would modify the airway route structure in the
northeastern United States to maintain the efficient flow of air
traffic.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend 11 VOR Federal airways; remove 10
VOR Federal airways; amend four low altitude RNAV routes (T-routes);
establish seven T-routes; amend one high altitude RNAV route (Q-route);
and establish one Q-route. The proposed VOR Federal airway changes are
described below.
    The names listed in the VOR Federal airway descriptions are the
names of the

VOR or VORTAC navigation facilities that form the route. This NPRM
proposes changes to some VOR Federal airways having segments in
Canadian airspace, and the extension of some Canadian RNAV routes into
U.S. airspace. The FAA developed these proposed changes in cooperation
with NAV CANADA (Canada's civil air navigation services provider).
    The following section describes proposed VOR Federal airway
changes.
    V-2: V-2 extends, in two parts, between Seattle, WA, and Nodine,
MN; and between Buffalo, NY, and Gardner, MA. The FAA proposes to
remove the sections between Buffalo and Gardner. As amended, the route
would extend between Seattle, WA, and Nodine, MN. Additional changes to
other portions of the airway have been proposed in a separate NPRM.
    V-3: V-3 extends between Key West, FL, and Quebec, PQ, Canada. The
FAA proposes to remove the segments between the intersection of the
Boston, MA, 014[deg], and the Pease, NH, 185[deg] radials, and Houlton,
ME. As amended, V-3 would consist of two parts: Between Key West, FL,
and Boston, MA; and between Presque Isle, ME, and Quebec, Canada. The
airspace within Restricted areas R-2916, R-2934, R-2935, and within
Canada is excluded.
    V-14: V-14 extends, in two parts, between Chisum, NM, and Flag
City, OH; and between Buffalo, NY, and Norwich, CT. This action
proposes to remove the sections between Buffalo and Norwich. As
amended, V-14 would extend between Chisum, NM, and Flag City, OH.
Additional changes to other portions of the airway have been proposed
in a separate NPRM.
    V-29: V-29 extends between Snow Hill, MD, and Massena, NY. This
action would remove the sections between Watertown, NY, and Massena,
NY. As amended, V-29 would extend between Snow Hill, MD, and Syracuse,
NY.
    V-39: V-39 extends between Sandhills, SC, and Mont Joli, PQ,
Canada. This action would remove the sections between Chester, MA, and
Augusta, ME. As amended, V-39 would consist of two parts: Between
Sandhills, SC, and the intersection of the Barnes, MA, 265[deg], and
the Chester, MA, 223[deg] radials; and between Augusta, ME, and Mont
Joli, PQ, Canada, excluding the portion within Canada.
    V-93: V-93 consists of two parts: Extending between Patuxent River,
MD, and the intersection of the Wilkes-Barre, PA, 037[deg], and the
Sparta, NJ, 300[deg] radials; and between the intersection of the
Sparta, NJ, 018[deg], and the Kingston, NY, 270[deg] radials, and
Bangor, ME. This action would remove the sections between Chester, MA,
and Bangor, ME. The amended route would extend between Patuxent River,
MD, and the intersection of the Barnes, MA, 265[deg], and the Chester,
MA, 223[deg] radials.
    V-106: V-106 consists of two parts: Between Johnstown, PA, and the
intersection of the Wilkes-Barre, PA, 037[deg], and the Sparta, NJ,
300[deg] radials; and between Barnes, MA, and Kennebunk, ME. This
proposal would remove the sections between Barnes, MA, and Kennebunk,
ME. The amended route would extend between Johnstown, PA, and the
intersection of the Wilkes-Barre, PA, 037[deg], and the Sparta, NJ,
300[deg] radials.
    V-145: V-145 extends between Utica, NY, and the intersection of the
Watertown, NY, 005[deg], and the Ottawa, ON, Canada 185[deg] radials.
The FAA proposes to remove the entire route.

FAA proposes to remove the entire route.
    V-229: V-229 extends between Patuxent, MD, and Burlington, VT. This
proposal would remove the segments between Hartford, CT, and
Burlington, VT. As amended, V-229 would extend between Patuxent, MD,
and Hartford, CT.
    V-249: V-249 extends between Robbinsville, NJ, and Utica, NY. This
action would remove the segments between DeLancey, NY, and Utica, NY.
The amended route would extend between Robbinsville, NJ, and DeLancey,
NY.
    V-273: V-273 extends between the intersection of the Huguenot, NY,
134[deg], and the Solberg, NJ, 044[deg] radials, and Syracuse, NY. The

extend between Bangor, ME, and Millinocket, ME.
    V-490: V-490 extends Utica, NY, and Manchester, NH. The FAA
proposes to remove the entire route.
    V-542: V-542 currently extends between Elmira, NY, and Lebanon, NH.
A separate rulemaking action proposes to remove the route segments
between Rockdale, NY, and Lebanon, NH. This NPRM proposes to remove the
entire remaining route.
    The following section describes proposed changes to U.S. low
altitude RNAV routes.
    T-295: T-295 extends between the LOUIE, MD, waypoint (WP), and the
Bangor, ME, VORTAC. This action proposes to extend the route
northeastward from Bangor, ME, to Presque Isle, ME. The Keene, NH (EEN)
VORTAC is replaced by the KEYNN, NH, WP, which is located 60 feet north
of the Keene VORTAC. The amended route would extend between LOUIE, MD,
and Presque Isle, ME.
    T-314: T-314 is a proposed new route that would extend between the
Barnes, MA, VORTAC, and the Kennebunk, ME, VOR/DME.
    T-315: T-315 is a proposed new route that would extend between the
Hartford, CT, VOR/DME and the Burlington, VT, VOR/DME.
    T-316: T-316 is a proposed new route that would extend between the
LAMMS, NY, WP, and the MANCH, NH, WP.
    T-391: T-391 extends between the TUMPS, NY, Fix, and the SSENA, NY,
WP. This action proposes to remove the TUMPS Fix and extend the route
southeast from the Syracuse, NY, VORTAC, to the Hancock, NY, VOR/DME.
As amended, the route would extend between Hancock, NY, and SSENA, NY.
    The following section describes proposed changes to Canadian low
altitude RNAV routes.

    T-608: T-608 is an existing Canadian route that was extended into
U.S. airspace in 2014 (79 FR 57758, September 26, 2014). It currently
extends between the HOCKE, MI, WP, through Canadian airspace, and ends
at the WOZEE, NY, WP. This proposal would extend the route from the
WOZEE WP eastward into U.S. airspace to the YANTC, CT, WP. The amended
T-608 would overlie VOR Federal airway V-2 between the WOZEE, NY, WP
and the Gardner, MA (GDM), VORTAC; and it would overlie V-14 between
the Albany, NY (ALB), VORTAC and the YANTC, CT, WP. The YANTC, CT, WP
replaces the Norwich, CT (ORW), VOR/DME. The LAMMS, NY, WP replaces the
Utica, NY (UCA), VORTAC. As amended, T-608 would extend from the HOCKE,
MI, WP, through Canadian airspace, to the WOZEE, NY, WP; and from the
WOZEE WP, to the YANCT WP. The order of points listed in the route
description is changed to read from ``west to east'' to comply with
formatting requirements.
    T-634: T-634 is an existing Canadian route that the FAA proposes to
extend into U.S. airspace. The route currently ends at the VIBRU,
Canada, WP (adjacent to the U.S./Canadian border). The VIBRU WP will be
moved 0.55NM to the south of its current position to align it with the
U.S./Canada border. It will be re-labled as ``VIBRU, NY.'' The FAA
proposes to extend T-634 into U.S. airspace between the Syracuse, NY,
VORTAC, and the VIBRU, NY, WP. The extended portion of the route would
replace VOR Federal airway V-145 as described above.
    T-662: T-662 is a Canadian route that would be extended into U.S.
airspace between the DEPRI, ME, WP, and the HULTN, ME, WP. The HULTN WP
would replace the Houlton, ME (HUL) VOR/DME. It is located 60 feet east
of the Houlton VOR/DME. T-662 would extend across Maine from the DEPIR
WP to the KATAH, ME, WP, to the HULTN, ME, WP. T-662 would replace VOR
Federal airway V-352 as described above.
    T-698: T-698 is a Canadian route that would be extended to cross
the State of Maine from the EBGIX, ME, WP, to the HULTN, ME, WP, to the
ACTON, ME, WP. The EBGIX WP is being moved 1.16NM east to coincide with
the U.S./Canada border in western Maine. The ACTON WP is a new point to
be added on the U.S./Canada border to the southeast of the Houlton, ME
(HUL) VOR/DME.
    T-705: T-705 is an existing Canadian route that was extended into
U.S. airspace, between the U.S./Canadian border, and the Utica, NY,
VORTAC, in 2018 (83 FR 31855, July 10, 2018). This proposal would
extend T-705 further southward to the DANZI, NY, WP (near the Delancey,
NY, VOR/DME). The Utica, NY, VORTAC, and the Saranac Lake, NY, VOR/DME
would be removed from the route. The new LAMMS, NY, WP would replace
the Utica VORTAC, and the new SRACK, NY, WP would replace the Saranac
Lake VOR/DME in the route description. The MUTNA, Canada, WP would be
moved 0.79NM southward to align with the U.S./Canada border. It would
be re-labled as ``MUTNA, NY.'' As amended, the U.S. portion of T-705
would extend between the DANZI, NY, WP and MUTNA, NY, WP at the U.S./
Canadian border.
    T-781: T-781 is a Canadian route that was extended into U.S.
airspace in 2014 (79 FR 57758, September 26, 2014). Currently, the U.S.
portion of the route extends from the Flint, MI, VORTAC, eastward to
the AXOBU, Canada, WP (in the vicinity of the U.S./Canadian border near
Port Huron, MI). T-781 then continues eastward across Canada and
terminates at the PINTE, Canada Fix (on the U.S./Canadian border). The
PINTE Fix would be moved 0.07 NM east to the U.S./Canada border and
would be converted to a WP. This proposal would extend T-781 eastward
from the PINTE, ME, WP to terminate at the HULTN, ME WP. As amended,
the U.S. portion of T-781 would extend between the Flint, MI, VORTAC,
and the AXOBU, Canada, Fix; and between the PINTE, ME, WP, and the
HULTN, ME, WP.
    The following section describes proposed changes to Canadian high
altitude RNAV routes.
    Q-806: Q-806 is a Canadian route that was extended into U.S.
airspace in 2014 (79 FR 57758, September 26, 2014). The U.S. portion
currently extends from the MEKSO, Canada, WP, eastward through the
Millinocket, ME, VOR/DME, to the CANME, ME, WP, and the VOGET, Canada,
WP. Canada is realigning Q-806 by shifting the route segment from the
MEKSO, Canada, WP, southward to the VINDI, Canada, WP. The VINDI WP
would be moved 0.13NM eastward to align with the U.S./Canada border and
listed as ``VINDI, ME.'' Consequently, this proposal would remove the
route segment between the MEKSO WP and the Millinocket, ME, VOR/DME,
and add the segment between the VINDI, ME, WP, and the Millinocket VOR/
DME. The VIGDU, Canada, WP would be moved 0.50NM westward to align with
the U.S./Canada border and listed as ``VIGDU, ME.'' The VIGDU, ME, WP
added east of the CANME, ME, WP. As amended, the U.S. portion of Q-806
would extend from the VINDI, ME, WP, eastward to the Millinocket, ME,
VOR/DME, to the CANME, ME, WP, to the VIGDU, ME, WP.
    Q-864: Q-864 is an existing Canadian route that the FAA proposes to
extend into U.S. airspace across northern Maine. The route currently
ends at the EBGIX, Canada, WP (at the U.S./Canadian border in western
Maine). This action would extend the route eastward from EBGIX, across
the State of Maine, running north of the Millinocket, ME, VOR/DME, to
the TUGUB, Canada, WP (located southeast of the Houlton, ME, VOR/DME)
where it would rejoin the remainder of Q-864 into Canada. The EBGIX WP
would be moved 1.16NM eastward to align with the U.S./Canadian border,
and the TUGUB WP would be moved 1.23NM west to align with the U.S./
Canada border. The amended Q-864 would extend between the EBGIX, ME,
WP, and the TUGUB, ME, WP.
    The proposed full descriptions of the above route changes are found
in ``The Proposed Amendment'' section of this NPRM.
    Domestic VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a);
United States area navigation routes are published in paragraph 6011;
and Canadian area navigation routes are published in paragraphs 2007,
and 6013; respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, and
effective September 15, 2020, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The VOR Federal airways and area navigation routes listed in
this document would be subsequently published in the Order.
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation
of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule,
when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial

number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The ISE is proposing to amend its transaction fees and rebates for
adding and removing liquidity. The text of the proposed rule change is
available on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.ise.com), at the
principal office of the Exchange, on the Commission's Web site at
http://www.sec.gov, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization
has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B and C below, of the
most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to increase liquidity and attract order flow
by amending its transaction fees and rebates for adding and removing
liquidity (``maker/taker fees'').\3\ The Exchange's maker/taker fees
currently apply to the following categories of market participants:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ These fees are similar to the ``maker/taker'' fees currently
assessed by NASDAQ OMX PHLX (``PHLX''). PHLX currently charges a fee
for removing liquidity to the following class of market
participants: (i) Customer, (ii) Directed Participant, (iii)
Specialist, ROT, SQT and RSQT, (iv) Firm, (v) Broker-Dealer, and
(vi) Professional. PHLX also provides a rebate for adding liquidity
to the following class of market participants: (i) Customer, (ii)
Directed Participant, (iii) Specialist, ROT, SQT and RSQT, and (iv)
Professional. PHLX also charges a fee for adding liquidity to the
following class of market participants: (i) Firm, and (ii) Broker-
Dealer. See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 61684 (March 10,
2010), 75 FR 13189 (March 18, 2010); 61932 (April 16, 2010), 75 FR
21375 (April 23, 2010); 61961 (April 22, 2010), 75 FR 22881 (April
30, 2010); and 62472 (July 8, 2010), 75 FR 41250 (July 15, 2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (i) Market Maker; (ii) Market Maker Plus; \4\ (iii) Non-ISE Market
Maker; \5\ (iv) Firm Proprietary;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ A Market Maker Plus is a market maker who is on the National
Best Bid or National Best Offer 80% of the time for series trading
between $0.03 and $5.00 (for options whose underlying stock's
previous trading day's last sale price was less than or equal to
$100) and between $0.10 and $5.00 (for options whose underlying
stock's previous trading day's last sale price was greater than
$100) in premium in each of the front two expiration months and 80%
of the time for series trading between $0.03 and $5.00 (for options
whose underlying stock's previous trading day's last sale price was
less than or equal to $100) and between $0.10 and $5.00 (for options
whose underlying stock's previous trading day's last sale price was
greater than $100) in premium across all expiration months in order
to receive the rebate. The Exchange determines whether a market
maker qualifies as a Market Maker Plus at the end of each month by
looking back at each market maker's quoting statistics during that
month. If at the end of the month, a market maker meets the
Exchange's stated criteria, the Exchange rebates $0.10 per contract
for transactions executed by that market maker during that month.
The Exchange provides market makers a report on a daily basis with
quoting statistics so that market makers can determine whether or
not they are meeting the Exchange's stated criteria.
    \5\ A Non-ISE Market Maker, or Far Away Market Maker
(``FARMM''), is a market maker as defined in Section 3(a)(38) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (``Exchange Act''),
registered in the same options class on another options exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (v) Customer (Professional); \6\ (vi) Priority Customer,\7\ 100 or
more contracts; and (vii) Priority Customer, less than 100
contracts.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ A Customer (Professional) is a person who is not a broker/
dealer and is not a Priority Customer.
    \7\ A Priority Customer is defined in ISE Rule 100(a)(37A) as a
person or entity that is not a broker/dealer in securities, and does
not place more than 390 orders in listed options per day on average
during a calendar month for its own beneficial account(s).
    \8\ The Chicago Board Options Exchange (``CBOE'') currently
makes a similar distinction between large size customer orders that
are fee liable and small size customer orders whose fees are waived.
CBOE currently waives fees for customer orders of 99 contracts or
less in options on exchange-traded funds (``ETFs'') and Holding
Company Depositary Receipts (``HOLDRs'') and charges a transaction
fee for customer orders that exceed 99 contracts. See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 59892 (May 8, 2009), 74 FR 22790 (May 14,
2009).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Current Transaction Charges for Adding and Removing Liquidity

    The Exchange currently assesses a per contract transaction charge
to market participants that remove, or ``take,'' liquidity from the
Exchange in the following options classes: PowerShares QQQ trust
(``QQQQ''), Bank of America Corporation (``BAC''), Citigroup, Inc.
(``C''), Standard and Poor's Depositary Receipts/SPDRs (``SPY''),
iShares Russell 2000 (``IWM''), Financial Select Sector SPDR (``XLF''),
Apple, Inc. (``AAPL''), General Electric Company (``GE''), JPMorgan
Chase & Co. (``JPM''), Intel Corporation (``INTC''), Goldman Sachs
Group, Inc. (``GS''), Research in Motion Limited (``RIMM''), AT&T, Inc.
(``T''), Verizon Communications, Inc. (``VZ''), United States Natural
Gas Fund (``UNG''), Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold, Inc. (``FCX''),
Cisco Systems, Inc. (``CSCO''), Diamonds Trust, Series 1 (``DIA''),
Amazon.com, Inc. (``AMZN''), United States Steel Corporation (``X''),
Alcoa Inc. (``AA''), American International Group, Inc. (``AIG''),
American Express Company (``AXP''), Best Buy Company (``BBY''),
Caterpillar, Inc. (``CAT''), Chesapeake Energy Corporation (``CHK''),
Dendreon Corporation (``DNDN''), iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index
Fund (``EEM''), iShares MSCI EAFE Index Fund (``EFA''), iShares MSCI
Brazil Index Fund (``EWZ''), Ford Motor Company (``F''), Direxion
Shares Financial Bull (``FAS''), Direxion Shares Financial Bear
(``FAZ''), First Solar, Inc. (``FSLR''), Market Vectors ETF Gold Miners
(``GDX''), SPDR Gold Trust (``GLD''), iShares DJ US Real Estate Index
Fund (``IYR''), MGM Mirage (``MGM''), Morgan Stanley (``MS''),
Microsoft Corporation (``MSFT''), Micron Technology, Inc. (``MU''),
Palm, Inc. (``PALM''), Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (``PBR''), The Procter
& Gamble Company (``PG''), Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan
(``POT''), Transocean Ltd. (``RIG''), ProShares UltraShort S&P 500
(``SDS''), iShares Silver Trust (``SLV''), Energy Select Sector SPDR
Fund (``XLE''), Exxon Mobil Corporation (``XOM''), Barrick Gold
Corporation (``ABX''), Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (``BMY''), BP
p.l.c. (``BP''), ConocoPhillips (``COP''), Dell Computer Corporation
(``DELL''), Dryships Inc. (``DRYS''), iShares Trust FTSE/Xinhua China
25 Index Fund (``FXI''), Halliburton Company (``HAL''), International
Business Machines Corporation (``IBM''), The Coca-Cola

Company (``KO''), Las Vegas Sands Corp. (``LVS''), McDonald's
Corporation (``MCD''), Altria Group Inc. (``MO''), Monsanto Company
(``MON''), Nokia Oyj (``NOK''), Oracle Corporation (``ORCL''), Pfizer
Inc. (``PFE''), QUALCOMM Inc (``QCOM''), Sprint Corporation (``S''),
Schlumberger Limited (``SLB''), Semiconductor HOLDRs Trust (``SMH''),
SanDisk Corporation (``SNDK''), Proshares Ultrashort Lehman (``TBT''),
United States Oil Fund (``USO''), Visa Inc (``V''), Companhia Vale Do
Rio Doce (``VALE''), Weatherford International Inc. (``WFT''),
Industrial Select Sector SPDR (``XLI''), SPDR S&P Retail ETF (``XRT''),
and Yahoo! Inc. (``YHOO'') (the ``Select Symbols''). The per contract
transaction charge depends on the category of market participant
submitting an order or quote to the Exchange that removes liquidity.\9\
Priority Customer Complex orders, regardless of size, are not assessed
a fee for removing liquidity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Although these options classes will no longer be subject to
the tiered market maker transaction fees, the volume from these
options classes will continue to be used in the calculation of the
tiers so that this new pricing does not affect a market maker's fee
in all other names.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also currently assesses transaction charges for adding
liquidity in options on the Select Symbols. Priority Customer orders,
regardless of size, and Market Maker Plus orders are not assessed a fee
for adding liquidity.

Current Rebates

    In order to promote and encourage liquidity in options classes that
are subject to maker/taker fees, the Exchange currently offers a $0.10
per contract rebate for Market Maker Plus orders sent to the
Exchange.\10\ Further, in order to incentivize members to direct retail
orders to the Exchange, Priority Customer Complex orders, regardless of
size, currently receive a rebate of $0.15 per contract on all legs when
these orders trade with non-customer orders in the Exchange's Complex
Orderbook. Additionally, the Exchange's Facilitation Mechanism has an
auction which allows for participation in a trade by members other than
the member who entered the trade. To incentivize members, the Exchange
currently offers a rebate of $0.15 per contract to contracts that do
not trade with the contra order in the Facilitation Mechanism. This
rebate is also offered to contracts that do not trade with the contra
order in the Price Improvement Mechanism.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The concept of incenting market makers with a rebate is not
novel. In 2008, the CBOE established a program for its Hybrid Agency
Liaison whereby it provides a $0.20 per contact rebate to its market
makers provided that at least 80% of the market maker's quotes in a
class during a month are on one side of the national best bid or
offer. Market makers not meeting CBOE's criteria are not eligible to
receive a rebate. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57231
(January 30, 2008), 73 FR 6752 (February 5, 2008). The CBOE has
since lowered the criteria from 80% to 60%. See Securities Exchange
Act Release No. 57470 (March 11, 2008), 73 FR 14514 (March 18,
2008).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fee Changes

    The Exchange proposes to remove the following options class from
the Exchange's maker/taker fee schedule: PALM.
    Additionally, the Exchange currently assesses transaction charges
for each leg of Complex Orders that remove liquidity in the Select
Symbols, as follows: (i) $0.25 per contract for Market Maker, Market
Maker Plus, Firm Proprietary and Customer (Professional) orders; and
(ii) $0.35 per contract for Non-ISE Market Maker orders. Priority
Customer Complex orders, regardless of size, are not assessed a fee for
removing liquidity. The Exchange proposes to increase the transaction
charge for Market Maker, Market Maker Plus, Firm Proprietary and
Customer (Professional) orders from $0.25 per contract to $0.27 per
contract for each leg of Complex Orders that remove liquidity in the
Select Symbols. However, ISE market makers who remove liquidity in the
Select Symbols from the Complex Orderbook by trading with orders that
are preferenced to them will continue to be charged $0.25 per contract.
The fee for Non-ISE Market Maker orders and Priority Customer Complex
orders will remain at their current levels.
    Finally, as an incentive for members to direct customer order flow
to the Exchange, Priority Customer Complex orders, regardless of size,
currently receive a rebate of $0.15 per contract on all legs when these
orders trade with non-customer orders in the Exchange's Complex Order
Book. The Exchange proposes to increase this rebate from $0.15 per
contract to $0.20 per contract.

Other Fees

    Fees for orders executed in the Exchange's Facilitation, Solicited
Order, Price Improvement and Block Order Mechanisms are for contracts
that are part of the originating or contra order.
     Complex orders executed in the Facilitation and Solicited
Order Mechanisms are charged fees only for the leg of the trade
consisting of the most contracts.
     Payment for Order Flow fees will not be collected on
transactions in options overlying the Select Symbols.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ ISE currently has a payment-for-order-flow (``PFOF'')
program that helps the Exchange's market makers establish PFOF
arrangements with an Electronic Access Member (``EAM'') in exchange
for that EAM preferencing some or all of its order flow to that
market maker. This program is funded through a fee paid by Exchange
market makers for each customer contract they execute, and is
administered by both Primary Market Makers (``PMM'') and Competitive
Market Makers (``CMM''), depending to whom the order is preferenced.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The Cancellation Fee will continue to apply to options
overlying the Select Symbols.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ The Exchange assesses a Cancellation Fee of $2.00 to EAMs
that cancel at least 500 orders in a month, for each order
cancellation in excess of the total number of orders such member
executed that month. All orders from the same clearing EAM executed
in the same underlying symbol at the same price within a 300 second
period are aggregated and counted as one executed order for purposes
of this fee. This fee is charged only to customer orders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The Exchange has a $0.20 per contract fee credit for
members who, pursuant to Supplementary Material .02 to Rule 803,
execute a transaction in the Exchange's flash auction as a response to
orders from persons who are not broker/dealers and who are not Priority
Customers.\13\ For options overlying the Select Symbols, the Exchange
provides a $0.10 per contract fee credit for members who execute a
transaction in the Exchange's flash auction as a response to orders
from persons who are not broker/dealers and who are not Priority
Customers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 61731 (March 18,
2010), 75 FR 14233 (March 24, 2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The Exchange has a $0.20 per contract fee for market maker
orders sent to the Exchange by EAMs.\14\ Market maker orders sent to
the Exchange by EAMs will be assessed a fee of $0.25 per contract for
removing liquidity in options overlying the Select Symbols and $0.10
per contract for adding liquidity in options overlying the Select
Symbols.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 60817 (October 13,
2009), 74 FR 54111 (October 21, 2009).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has designated this proposal to be operative on August
2, 2010.
2. Statutory Basis
    The basis under the Exchange Act for this proposed rule change is
the requirement under Section 6(b)(4) that an exchange have an
equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among
its members and other persons using its facilities. The impact of the
proposal upon the net fees paid by a particular market participant will
depend on a number of variables, most important of which will be its
propensity to add or remove liquidity in options overlying the Select
Symbols. The Exchange operates in a highly competitive market in which
market participants can readily direct order flow to another exchange
if they deem

fee levels at a particular exchange to be excessive. The Exchange
believes that the proposed fees it charges for options overlying the
Select Symbols remain competitive with fees charged by other exchanges
and therefore continue to be reasonable and equitably allocated to
those members that opt to direct orders to the Exchange rather than to
a competing exchange. In particular, the Exchange believes increasing
the rebate for Priority Customer Complex orders will attract additional
order flow to the Exchange. As to the proposed fee change for taking
liquidity from the Complex Order Book, the Exchange believes the
proposed increase is reasonable and equitable in that the increase
applies to all market participants that were previously subject to this
fee. Moreover, the Exchange believes that the proposed fees are fair,
equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because the proposed fees are
consistent with price differentiation that exists today at all option
exchanges. Additionally, the Exchange believes it remains an attractive
venue for market participants to trade complex orders despite the
proposed nominal fee increase as its fees are still lower than fees
charged by other options exchanges. PHLX, For example, currently
charges Broker-Dealers and Firms $0.45 per contract for removing
liquidity from its Complex Order Live Auction.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See PHLX Fee Schedule. See also Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 61398 (January 22, 2010), 75 FR 4884 (January 29, 2010)
(SR-PHLX-2009-116).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The proposed rule change does not impose any burden on competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested
parties.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3) of the Act \16\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) \17\ thereunder. At any
time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule change, the
Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule change if it
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2008-1081; Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-143-AD;
Amendment 39-15864; AD 2009-07-05]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; ATR Model ATR72 Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

    Incomplete accomplishment instructions in SB [service bulletin]
ATR72-27-1059 original issue and Revision 1, failed to mention
installation of cotter pins to secure the self locking nuts after
re-installation of the modified Pitch Uncoupling Mechanism (PUM),
when connecting the elevator control linkage rods to the PUM input
levers and the PUM output rods to the elevator bellcranks (on both
sides).
    Because of the non-installation of these four cotter pins, the
fail-safe criteria of the design requirements on the pitch control
are no longer met. Such a failure could cause the loss of one self
locking nut and would result in the loss of pitch control on one
side--Captain or First Officer--or the loss of control of one
elevator surface. The symmetrical loss of two concerned self-locking
nuts could lead to a complete loss of the pitch control.
* * * * *
    We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective May 5, 2009.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of May 5, 2009.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov or in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor,
Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on October 9, 2008 (73
FR 59573). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    Incomplete accomplishment instructions in SB [service bulletin]
ATR72-27-1059 original issue and Revision 1, failed to mention
installation of cotter pins to secure the self locking nuts after
re-installation of the modified Pitch Uncoupling Mechanism (PUM),
when connecting the elevator control linkage rods to the PUM input
levers and the PUM output rods to the elevator bellcranks (on both
sides).
    Because of the non-installation of these four cotter pins, the
fail-safe criteria of the design requirements on the pitch control
are no longer met. Such a failure could cause the loss of one self
locking nut and would result in the loss of pitch control on one
side--Captain or First Officer--or the loss of control of one
elevator surface. The symmetrical loss of two concerned self-locking
nuts could lead to a complete loss of the pitch control.
    For the reasons stated above, this AD requires you to check
[for] the presence of the four cotter pins and [perform] their
installation if they are found to be missing.

You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Revision to Service Information

    Since the NPRM was issued we have received Avions de Transport
Regional Service Bulletin ATR72-27-1059, Revision 03, dated October 3,
2008. We referred to Avions de Transport Regional Service Bulletin
ATR72-27-1059, Revision 02, dated May 19, 2008, in the NPRM as the
appropriate source of service information for accomplishing the
required actions. Revision 03 of Avions de Transport Regional Service
Bulletin ATR72-27-1059 adds an option for doing additional actions and
includes minor editorial changes that do not affect the technical
content. We have added Avions de Transport Regional Service Bulletin
ATR72-27-1059, Revision 03, dated October 3, 2008, to paragraphs
(f)(1), (f)(2), (f)(3), and (h) of this AD as an option for
accomplishing the required actions.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD with the change described
previously. We determined that this change will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of the AD.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences
are highlighted in a Note within the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 20 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 2 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $80 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of
this AD to the U.S. operators to be $3,200, or $160 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and 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

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly
after receipt.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

Adoption of the Amendment

0
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator,
the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

2009-07-05 ATR-GIE Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional (Formerly
Aerospatiale): Amendment 39-15864. Docket No. FAA-2008-1081;
Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-143-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective May 5,
2009.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to ATR Model ATR72-101, -102, -201, -202, -
211, -212, and -212A airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in
any category; as identified in paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this
AD, as applicable.
    (1) This AD applies to airplanes on which Avions de Transport
Regional Service Bulletin ATR72-27-1059 was done in service at
original issue, dated October 3, 2006; or Revision 01, dated March
14, 2007; except as provided by paragraph (c)(2) of this AD.
    (2) This AD does not apply to airplanes on which Avions de
Transport Regional Service Bulletin ATR72-27-1059, Revision 02,
dated May 19, 2008; or Revision 03, dated October 3, 2008; was done
in service, or ATR Modification 05572 was done in production.
Modification 05572 is factory-incorporated on ATR72-212A airplanes
from manufacturer's serial number (MSN) 730.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 27: Flight
controls.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:

    Incomplete accomplishment instructions in SB [service bulletin]
ATR72-27-1059 original issue and Revision 1, failed to mention
installation of cotter pins to secure the self locking nuts after
re-installation of the modified Pitch Uncoupling Mechanism (PUM),
when connecting the elevator control linkage rods to the PUM input
levers and the PUM output rods to the elevator bellcranks (on both
sides).
    Because of the non-installation of these four cotter pins, the
fail-safe criteria of the design requirements on the pitch control
are no longer met. Such a failure could cause the loss of one self
locking nut and would result in the loss of pitch control on one
side--Captain or First Officer--or the loss of control of one
elevator surface. The symmetrical loss of two concerned self-locking
nuts could lead to a complete loss of the pitch control.
    For the reasons stated above, this AD requires you to check
[for] the presence of the four cotter pins and [perform] their
installation if they are found to be missing.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions.
    (1) Within 10 days after the effective date of this AD: Verify
installation of the four cotter pins securing the nuts of the
fastener assemblies connecting the elevator control rods to the
elevator bellcranks as shown in Figure 1 of the Accomplishment
Instructions of Avions de Transport Regional Service Bulletin ATR72-
27-1059, Revision 02, dated May 19, 2008; or Revision 03, dated
October 3, 2008.
    (2) If any cotter pin is found missing, before further flight,
install a new cotter pin with part number MS24665-164 by doing all
the applicable actions in accordance with the Accomplishment
Instructions of Avions de Transport Regional Service Bulletin ATR72-
27-1059, Revision 02, dated May 19, 2008; or Revision 03, dated
October 3, 2008.

    Note 1:  For accessing the zone to be inspected, panels 325BL,
325BR, 327HL, 327KL, 327KR, 327JR, 327JL, 333BB, and 334BB may need
to be removed. Information pertaining to removal procedures can be
found in the Accomplishment Instructions of Avions de Transport
Regional Service Bulletin ATR72-27-1059, Revision 02, dated May 19,
2008; or Revision 03, dated October 3, 2008.

    (3) Before further flight after accomplishment of paragraph
(f)(2) of this AD, perform an operational test of the elevator
control as specified in paragraph 3.D., ``Tests,'' of the
Accomplishment Instructions of Avions de Transport Regional Service
Bulletin ATR72-27-1059, Revision 02, dated May 19, 2008; or Revision
03, dated October 3, 2008. If any elevator control rod fails the
operational test, before further flight, repair using a method
approved by the Manager, International Branch, ANM-116, Transport
Airplane Directorate, FAA; or the European Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA) (or its delegated agent).

FAA AD Differences

    Note 2:  This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service
information as follows: The MCAI does not specify corrective action
for failure of the operational test (binding or friction) specified
in paragraph (f)(3) of this AD. This AD requires using a method
approved by the Manager, International Branch, ANM-116; or the EASA
(or its delegated agent) and performing corrective action before
further flight.

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (g) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA,
has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using
the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to ATTN: Tom
Rodriguez, Aerospace Engineer, International Branch, ANM-116,
Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., Renton,
Washington 98057-3356; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax<PHONE_NUMBER>.
Before using any approved AMOC on any airplane to which the AMOC
applies, notify your appropriate principal inspector (PI) in the FAA
Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local
FSDO.
    (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain
corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered
FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority
(or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product
is airworthy before it is returned to service.

    (3) Reporting Requirements: For any reporting requirement in
this AD, under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved the information
collection requirements and has assigned OMB Control Number 2120-
0056.

BILLING CODE 4910-13-P


Comment Info: =================

General Comment:A 75 day comment period is insufficient time for the vaping industry and the wider vaping community to comment on the proposed deeming regulations. I would respectfully request that the period for comment be extended to 180 days.

This is not to say that the topic should not be discussed.  This is an industry in its infancy that has the potential to employ thousands of Americas and save thousands more.  This topic should be discussed in a public forum, with public knowledge and enough time to encourage public awareness and participation.  The 75 day window that has been set forth is simply not enough time given the lack of publicity of the forum, and therefore will not conjure opinions that accurately represent the opinions of the industry and the consumers.

Therefore, if this is intended to more more than a publicity stunt or a box to check that the FDA is going through the motions to "encourage" public opinion on the issue; I strongly urge an extension of the allotted window.
