BILLING CODE 8011-01-P


ATTACHMENT Consultation Process Respondent # 1: Date: ( 1) Publicly Available Data ( 1) Is the data that the Agency seeks available from any public source, or already collected by another office at EPA or by another agency? ( 2) If yes, where can you find the data? ( Does your answer indicate a true duplication, or does the input indicate that certain data elements are available, but that they don't meet our data needs very well?)

( 2) Frequency of Collection Can the Agency collect the information less frequently and still produce the same outcome?

( 3) Clarity of Instructions ( 1) The ICR is intended to require that respondents provide certain data so that the Agency can utilize them. ( 1) Based on the instructions ( regulations, PR Notices, etc.), is it clear what you are required to do and how to submit such data? ( 2) If not, what suggestions do you have to clarify the instructions? ( 2) Do you understand that you are required to maintain records? ( 3) Considering that there is no required submission format, is it difficult to submit information in ways that are clear, logical and easy to complete? ( 4) Regarding the any [ specific program] forms, do you use them? Are they clear, logical, and easy to complete?

( 4) Electronic Reporting and Record keeping The Government Paperwork Elimination Act requires agencies make available to the public electronic reporting alternatives to paper based submissions by 2003, unless there is a strong reason for not doing so. One such reason is that, at the present time, the Agency is unable to ensure the security of CBI that might be transmitted over the Internet. ( 1) What do you think about electronic alternatives to paper based records and data submissions? Current electronic reporting alternatives include the use of " web forms"/ XML based submissions via the Agency's Internet site and magnetic mediabased submissions, e. g., diskette, CD ROM, etc. Would you be interested in pursuing electronic reporting? Are you keeping your records electronically? If yes, in what format? ( 2) Although the Agency does not offer an electronic reporting option because of CBI related security concerns at this time ( 1) would you be more inclined to submit CBI on diskette than on paper? ( 2) what benefits would electronic submission bring you in terms of burden reduction or greater efficiency in compiling the information?

( 5) Burden and Costs ( 1) Are the labor rates accurate? ( 2) The Agency assumes there are no capital costs associated with this activity. Is that correct? ( 3) Bearing in mind that the burden and cost estimates include only burden hours and costs associated with the paperwork involved with this ICR, e. g., the ICR does not include estimated burden hours and costs for conducting studies, are the estimated burden hours and labor rates accurate? If you provide burden and cost estimates that are substantially different from EPA's, please provide an explanation of how you arrived at your estimates. ( 4) Are there other costs that should be accounted for that may have been missed?

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-76352; File No. SR-CBOE-2015-093]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change To Amend the Fees Schedule

November 4, 2015.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on October 30, 2015, Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated
(the ``Exchange'' or ``CBOE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described
in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by the
Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments
on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend the Fees Schedule relating to
Continuing Education Fees. The text of the proposed rule change is
available on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), at the Exchange's Office of the
Secretary, 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 Exchange 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 Exchange 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 amend the Fees Schedule.\3\ Specifically,
the Exchange proposes to make changes to the Continuing Education Fees
section of the Fees Schedule to provide that continuing education for
all registration except the Series 56 will be $55 if conducted via Web-
delivery. Continuing education for all registration except the Series
56 will remain $100 if conducted at a testing center.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Exchange initially filed the proposed fee change on
October 2, 2015 (SR-CBOE-2015-086). On October 9, 2015, the Exchange
withdrew SR-CBOE-2015-086.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On August 8, 2015, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved
SR-FINRA-2015-015 relating proposed changes to FINRA Rule 1250 to
provide a Web-based delivery method for completing the Regulatory
Element of the continuing education requirements.\4\ Pursuant to the
rule change, effective October 1, 2015, the Regulatory Element of the
Continuing Education Programs for the S106 for Investment Company and
Variable Contracts Representatives, the S201 for Registered Principals
and Supervisors, and the S901 for Operations Professionals will be
administered through Web-based delivery or such other technological
manner and format as specified by FINRA. The Regulatory Element of
these Continuing Education Programs will continue to be offered at
testing centers until no later than six months after January 4,
2016.\5\ Pursuant to the Approval Order to SR-FINRA-2015-015, the fee
for test-center delivery of the Regulatory Element of the S106, S201,
and S901 Continuing Education Programs will continue to be $100 per
session through no later than six months after January 4, 2016 when the
programs will no longer be offered at testing centers. The fee for Web-
based delivery of the Regulatory Elements of the S106, S201, and S901
Continuing Education Programs, however, will be $55.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 75581 (July 31,
2015), 80 FR 47018 (August 6, 2015) (Order Approving a Proposed Rule
Change to Provide a Web-based Delivery Method for Completing the
Regulatory Element of the Continuing Education Requirements) (SR-
FINRA-2015-015).
    \5\ Test-center delivery of the Regulatory Element will be
phased out by no later than six months after January 4, 2016. See
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 75581 (July 31, 2015), 80 FR
47018 (August 6, 2015) (Order Approving a Proposed Rule Change To
Provide a Web-Based Delivery Method for Completing the Regulatory
Element of the Continuing Education) (SR-FINRA-2015-015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange currently utilizes FINRA's Continuing Education
Programs for its own continuing education requirements. Consistent with
SR-FINRA-2015-015, the Exchange recently filed SR-CBOE-2015-084 \6\
relating to continuing education. In that filing, the Exchange proposed
to follow the changes set forth in SR-FINRA-2015-015 with respect to
Web-based delivery of the Regulatory Element of the Continuing
Education Programs for the S106 for Investment Company and Variable
Contracts Representatives, the S201 for Registered Principals and
Supervisors, and the S901 for Operations Professionals. Consistent with
SR-CBOE-2015-084, this proposed rule change, proposes to amend the Fees
Schedule to provide that effective immediately, the fee for Web-based
delivery of the Regulatory Elements of the S106, S201, and S901
Continuing Education Programs will be $55. The fee for test-center
delivery of the Regulatory Element of the S106, S201, and S901
Continuing Education Programs will continue to be $100 per session
until test-center delivery of the Regulatory Element is phased out and
the programs are no longer offered at testing centers. At that time,
the Exchange will file another fee filing to remove the test center
option for delivery of the Regulatory Element from the Fees Schedule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Available at http://www.cboe.com/publish/RuleFilingsSEC/SR-CBOE-2015-084.pdf
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the
Exchange and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the
Act.\7\ Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is
consistent with the Section

6(b)(5) \8\ requirements 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 foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling,
processing information with respect to, and facilitating transactions
in securities, 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. Additionally, the Exchange
believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the Section
6(b)(5) \9\ requirement that the rules of an exchange not be designed
to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or
dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \9\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In particular, the Web-based delivery method for continuing
education is in the interest of investors and free and open markets. In
general, Web-based delivery will remove time parameters that exist with
respect to taking continuing education at testing centers. Having
additional time to take continuing education may result in better
learning outcomes, which should enhance investor protection. In
addition, the option to have Web-based delivery of the Regulatory
Element of the S106, S201, and S901 Continuing Education Programs at a
reduced cost lowers barriers to entry and removes impediments to a free
and open market and national market system by making it easier and less
costly for Trading Permit Holders to participate in the market.
Accordingly, the Exchange believes that Web-based delivery of the
Regulatory Element of the S106, S201, and S901 Continuing Education
Programs and reducing the costs of continuing education in general are
goals that are consistent with the Act.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. As FINRA has stated, the
proposed rule change is specifically intended to reduce the burdens of
continuing education on market participants while preserving the
integrity of the S106, S201, and S901 Continuing Education Programs. In
general, reduction in cost and removal of barriers to entry encourages
competition among market participants, particularly in situations where
such rules are employed universally across the markets. By bringing the
Exchange's fees structure in line with that of FINRA, the Exchange
believes it is removing impediments to free and open markets and
encouraging competition between the Exchange and other markets that use
the S106, S201, and S901 Continuing Education Programs. Accordingly,
the Exchange further believes that the proposed rule change will
relieve burdens on, and otherwise promote competition.

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

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received written comments on the
proposed rule change.

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)(A) of the Act \10\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \11\
thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the 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. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission will institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.

    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f).

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:
