SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-71953; File No. SR-BOX-2014-14]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; BOX Options Exchange LLC; Notice
of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To
Amend Rule 7130 (Execution and Price/Time Priority) To Include Public
Customer Bid/Ask Volume Information in BOX's Proprietary High Speed
Vendor Feed (``HSVF'')

April 16, 2014.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on April 4, 2014, BOX Options Exchange LLC (the ``Exchange'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items
have been prepared by the self-regulatory organization. The Commission
is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule 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 Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 7130 (Execution and Price/Time
Priority) to include Public Customer bid/ask volume information in
BOX's proprietary High Speed Vendor Feed (``HSVF''). The text of the
proposed rule change is available from the principal office of the
Exchange, at the Commission's Public Reference Room and also on the
Exchange's Internet Web site at http://boxexchange.com.

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 purpose of the proposed rule change is to amend Rule 7130
(a)(2) (Execution and Price/Time Priority) to specify the addition of
Public Customer bid/ask volume information in the BOX High Speed Vendor
Feed (``HSVF''). Specifically, the new field will show Public Customer
bid/ask volume at the best limit. The HSVF is a proprietary product
that contains: (i) Trades and trade cancelation information; (ii) best-
ranked price level to buy and the best-ranked price level to sell;
(iii) instrument summaries (including information such as high, low,
and last trade price and traded volume); (iv) the five best limit
prices and the best-ranked Legging Order \3\ (if any), for each option
instrument, and the five best limit prices and the best-ranked Implied
Order \4\ (if any), for each Complex Order Strategy; (v) request for
Quote

messages \5\; (vi) PIP Order, COPIP Order, Improvement Order and Block
Trade Order (Facilitation and Solicitation) information \6\; (vii)
orders exposed at NBBO \7\ and Complex Orders exposed \8\; (viii)
instrument dictionary (e.g., strike price, expiration date, underlying
symbol, price threshold, and minimum trading increment for instruments
traded on BOX); (ix) options class and instrument status change notices
(e.g., whether an instrument or class is in pre-opening, continuous
trading, closed, halted, or prohibited from trading); and (x) options
class opening time. The HSVF is available to all market participants at
no cost.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ As set forth in Exchange Rule 7240(c)(1).
    \4\ As set forth in Exchange Rule 7240(d)(1).
    \5\ See Exchange Rules 100(a)(57), 7070(h) and 8050.
    \6\ As set forth in Exchange Rules 7150, 7245, and 7270,
respectively.
    \7\ As set forth in Exchange Rules 7130(b)(3) and 8040(d)(6),
respectively.
    \8\ As set forth in Exchange Rule 7240(b)(3)(iii)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The HSVF provides data to enhance the ability of subscribers to
analyze market conditions and to create and test trading models and
analytical strategies. The Exchange believes that the HSVF is a
valuable tool that can be used to gain comprehensive insight into the
trading activity in a particular option series. The addition of Public
Customer bid/ask volume information will further increase the value of
this tool by allowing market participants to better gauge Public
Customer interest. If no Public Customer orders are present at the best
limit, then the bid/ask volume will show 0 (zero). The new field will
show the bid/ask volume at the best limit for both regular options and
strategy instruments.
 2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act,\9\ in general, and Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\10\ in particular, in that the HSVF is designed to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, remove impediments to
and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national
market system, and, in general protect investors and the public
interest, by including additional information in BOX's market data
product. In particular, the HSVF product will now include Public
Customer bid/ask volume information. The Exchange believes provides for
a more free and open market [sic]. Additionally, this proposed change
will enhance subscribers' ability to make more informed and timely
trading decisions. As such, BOX believes the proposed rule change is in
the public interest, and therefore, consistent with the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In adopting Regulation NMS, the Commission granted self-regulatory
organizations and broker-dealers increased authority and flexibility to
offer new and unique market data to the public. It was believed that
this authority would expand the amount of data available to consumers,
and also spur innovation and competition for the provision of market
data. The Exchange believes that the proposal is in keeping with those
principles by promoting increased transparency through the
dissemination of more useful proprietary data.
    Additionally, the Exchange chooses to make the data available as
proposed in order to improve market quality, to attract order flow, and
to increase transparency. The Exchange will continue making the data
available until such time as the Exchange changes its rule.

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

    The proposed rule change would allow the Exchange to disseminate
additional information in its propriety market data product, the HSVF.
This enhancement to the HSVF will give market participants greater
information on which to base their trading strategies. As such, the
Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition 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 neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposed rule change.

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

    The proposed rule change is effective upon filing pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \11\ and paragraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4
thereunder,\12\ in that the proposed rule change: (i) Does not
significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) does not impose any significant burden on competition;
and (iii) does not become operative for 30 days after the date of the
filing, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate if
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest;
provided the self-regulatory organization has given the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along
with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at least
five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \13\ The Exchange has fulfilled this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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:

management objectives; (3) review and discuss existing information and
identify preliminary information and study needs; (4) review and
discuss the process plan and schedule for pre-filing activity that
incorporates the time frames provided for in Part 5 of the Commission's
regulations and, to the extent possible, maximizes coordination of
federal, state, and tribal permitting and certification processes; and
(5) discuss the appropriateness of any federal or state agency or
Indian tribe acting as a cooperating agency for development of an
environmental document.
    Meeting participants should come prepared to discuss their issues
and/or concerns. Please review the PAD in preparation for the scoping

Commission, 12225 Wilkins Avenue, Rockville, Maryland 20852. All
filings must clearly identify the project name and docket number on the
first page: Goldendale Pumped Storage Project (P-14861-002).
    The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all
interveners filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of
that document on each person on the official service list for the
project. Further, if an intervener files comments or documents with the
Commission relating to the merits of an issue that may affect the
responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they must also serve
a copy of the document on that resource agency.
    k. The application is not ready for environmental analysis at this
time.
    l. The project would include the following new facilities: (1) A
61-acre upper reservoir formed by a 175-foot-high, 8,000-foot-long
rockfill embankment dam at an elevation of 2,950 feet mean sea level
(MSL) with a vertical concrete intake-outlet structure; (2) a 63-acre
lower reservoir formed by a 205-foot-high, 6,100-foot-long embankment
at an elevation of 590 feet MSL with a horizontal concrete intake-
outlet structure and vertical steel slide gates; (3) an underground
conveyance tunnel system connecting the two reservoirs consisting of a
2,200-foot-long, 29-foot-diameter concrete-lined vertical shaft, a
3,300-foot-long, 29-foot-diameter concrete-lined high pressure tunnel,
a 200-foot-long, 22-foot-diameter high pressure manifold tunnel, three
600-foot-long, 15-foot-diameter steel/concrete penstocks, three 200-
foot-long, 20-foot-diameter steel-lined draft tube tunnels with
bonneted slide gates, a 200-foot-long, 26-foot-diameter concrete-lined
low-pressure tunnel, and a 3,200-foot-long, 30-foot-diameter concrete-
lined tailrace tunnel; (4) an underground powerhouse located between
the upper and lower reservoir in a 0.83-acre powerhouse cavern
containing three, 400-megawatt (MW)

Francis-type pump-turbine units for a total installed capacity of 1,200
MW; (5) a 0.48-acre underground transformer cavern adjacent to the
powerhouse containing intermediate step-up transformers that will step
up the voltage from 18 kilovolts (kV) to 115 kV; (6) two 30-foot-
diameter tunnels for accessing the powerhouse and transformer caverns;
(7) a 0.84-mile-long, 115-kV underground transmission line extending
from the transformer gallery through the combined access/transmission
tunnel to where it emerges aboveground near the west side of the lower
reservoir and extending an additional 0.27 miles to an outdoor 7.3-acre
substation/switchyard where the voltage would be stepped up to 500 kV;
(8) a 3.13-mile-long, 500-kV transmission line routed from the
substation/switchyard south across the Columbia River and connecting to
Bonneville Power Administration's existing John Day Substation; (9) a
buried 30-inch-diameter water fill line leading from a shut-off and
throttling valve within a non-project water supply vault owned by
Klickitat Public Utility District (KPUD) to an outlet structure within
the lower reservoir to convey water to fill the reservoirs; and (10)
appurtenant facilities. The project would also include an existing 0.7-
mile road for accessing the lower reservoir site and an existing 8.6-
mile-long road for accessing the upper reservoir site both of which may
be modified to provide access for construction vehicles.
    The water supply used to initially fill the lower reservoir as well
as to provide make-up water would be purchased from KPUD and would be
obtained from KPUD's existing intake pond on the Columbia River. The
project water fill line would connect to a new KPUD-owned flanged water
supply service connection in a water supply vault located near the
lower reservoir. Within the vault, and just downstream of the service
connection, there would be a project shut-off and throttling valve to
allow control of the initial fill and make-up water flow rate into the
lower reservoir. The initial fill would require 7,640 acre-feet of
water and would be completed in about six months at an average flow
rate of approximately 21 cubic feet per second (maximum flow rate
available is 35 cubic feet per second). It is estimated that the
project would need 360 acre-feet of water each year to replenish water
lost through evaporation.
    m. A copy of the application is available for review via the
internet through the Commission's Home Page (http://www.ferc.gov),
using the eLibrary link. Enter the docket number, excluding the last
three digits in the docket number field, to access the document. At
this time, the Commission has suspended access to the Commission's

    n. Anyone may submit a protest or a motion to intervene in
accordance with the requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18
CFR 385.210, 385.211, and 385.214. In determining the appropriate
action to take, the Commission will consider all protests filed, but

Energy and, where appropriate, the Treasury, makes all decisions
regarding additions to, removals from, or other modifications to the
Entity List. The ERC makes all decisions to add an entry to the Entity
List by majority vote and all decisions to remove or modify an entry by
unanimous vote.
    This final rule does not amend the Entity List, but modifies the
license requirement for the sixty-nine entries added to the Entity List
in the May 16, 2019, final rule entitled ``Addition of Entities to the
Entity List,'' as described further below, by adding a temporary
general license for the specified entities.

Addition of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. and Sixty-Eight Related
Entities to the Entity List

    BIS added Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (Huawei) and sixty-eight of
its non-U.S. affiliates to the Entity List on May 16, 2019. Details
regarding the scope of the listing are in the final rule titled
``Addition to the Entity List,'' effective May 16, 2019, and scheduled
to publish in the May 21, 2019, issue of the Federal Register. The
sixty-eight non-U.S. affiliates are also listed in Supplement No. 7 to
part 744--Temporary General License.

Addition of Temporary General License

    This final rule amends the EAR by adding Supplement No. 7 to Part
744 to create a Temporary General License that returns in part the
prior requirements through August 14, 2019. In this final rule,
pursuant to Supplement No. 5 to part 744 of the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR), BIS is modifying the effect of the sixty-nine
entries on the Entity List by adding a temporary general license to
temporarily authorize, as specified below, engagement in transactions,
involving the export, reexport, and transfer (in-country) of items
subject to the EAR to Huawei and its sixty-eight non-U.S. affiliates
subject to the conditions described below.
    a. This temporary general license is effective from the date of
this Authorization, May 20, 2019, through August 19, 2019.
    b. This temporary general license does not relieve persons of other
obligations under the EAR, including but not limited to licensing
requirements to the People's Republic of China (PRC or China) or
elsewhere and/or the requirements of part 744 of the EAR. This
authorization does not authorize any activities or transactions
involving Country Group E countries (i.e., Cuba, Iran, North Korea,
Sudan, and Syria) or persons.
    c. With the exception of the transactions explicitly authorized by
this temporary general license, exports, reexports, and transfers (in-
country) continue to require a license pursuant to the license
requirement set forth in Supplement No. 4 to part 744 for Huawei and
the sixty-eight non-U.S. affiliates and will be reviewed under the
license review policy for those entities.
    This temporary general license allows, from May 20, 2019, through
August 19, 2019, the following:
    1. Continued Operation of Existing Networks and Equipment: BIS
authorizes engagement in transactions, subject to other provisions of
the EAR, necessary to maintain and support existing and currently fully
operational networks and equipment, including software updates and
patches, subject to legally binding contracts and agreements executed
between Huawei and third parties or the sixty-eight non-U.S. Huawei
affiliates and third parties on or before May 16, 2019.
    2. Support to Existing Handsets: BIS authorizes engagement in
transactions, subject to other provisions of the EAR, necessary to
provide service and support, including software updates or patches, to
existing Huawei handsets that were available to the public on or before
May 16, 2019.
    3. Cybersecurity Research and Vulnerability Disclosure: BIS
authorizes, subject to other provisions of the EAR, the disclosure to
Huawei and/or the sixty-eight non-U.S. affiliates of information
regarding security vulnerabilities in items owned, possessed, or
controlled by Huawei or any of the sixty-eight non-U.S. affiliates

when related to the process of providing ongoing security research
critical to maintaining the integrity and reliability of existing and
currently fully operational networks and equipment, as well as
handsets.
    4. Engagement as Necessary for Development of 5G Standards by a
Duly Recognized Standards Body: BIS authorizes, subject to other
provisions of the EAR, engagement with Huawei and/or the sixty-eight
non-U.S. affiliates as necessary for the development of 5G standards as
part of a duly recognized international standards body (e.g., IEEE--
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers; IETF--internet
Engineering Task Force; ISO--International Organization for Standards;
ITU--International Telecommunications Union; ETSI- European
Telecommunications Standards Institute; 3GPP--3rd Generation
Partnership Project; TIA--Telecommunications Industry Association; and
GSMA, a.k.a., GSM Association, Global System for Mobile
Communications).
    The licensing and other policies of the EAR regarding exports,
reexports, and transfers (in-country) to Huawei and sixty-eight of its
non-U.S. affiliates that were in effect prior to their addition to the
Entity List on May 16, 2019, are available for exports, reexports, and
transfers (in-country) for transactions eligible for the temporary
general license established by this final rule.
    For example, the authority of NLR or a license exception that was
available on or before May 16, 2019, may be used pursuant to this
temporary general license if the underlying export, reexport, or
transfer (in-country) meets the temporary general license conditions
and is limited in scope to the support of one or more of activities
described in clauses 1-4 above.
    This temporary general license does not relieve persons of other
obligations under the EAR, including but not limited to licensing
requirements to the PRC or elsewhere and/or the requirements of the
part 744 of the EAR, such as those specified in Sec. Sec.
[thinsp]744.2, 744.3 and 744.4 of the EAR. This temporary general
license does not authorize any activities or transactions involving
Country Group E countries or persons. For example, this temporary
general license does not relieve persons of their obligations under
General Prohibition 5 in Sec.  [thinsp]736.2(b)(5) of the EAR which
provides that, ``you may not, without a license, knowingly export or
reexport any item subject to the EAR to an end-user or end-use that is
prohibited by part 744 of the EAR.'' BIS strongly urges the use of
Supplement No. 3 to part 732 of the EAR, ``BIS's `Know Your Customer'
Guidance and Red Flags,'' when persons are involved in transactions
that are subject to the EAR.

Required Certification Statement and Change to EAR Recordkeeping
Requirement

    Also in new Supplement No. 7 to part 744, this final rule includes
a paragraph (d) (Certification statement). The certification statement
is required to be made by the exporter, reexport, or transferor prior
to making an export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) pursuant to
this Temporary General License. The certification statement must be
kept for recordkeeping purposes by the exporter, reexporter, or
transferor.
    As a conforming change, in part 762 (Recordkeeping), this final
rule adds a new paragraph (b)(55) to reference the Certification
statement required in order to rely in the Temporary General License.

Export Control Reform Act of 2018

    On August 13, 2018, the President signed into law the John S.
McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, which
included the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (ECRA) (Title XVII,
Subtitle B of Pub. L. 115-232 (132 Stat. 2210); 50 U.S.C. 4801 et
seq.), which provides the legal basis for BIS's principal authorities
and serves as the authority under which BIS issues this rule. As set
forth in section 1768 of ECRA, all delegations, rules, regulations,
orders, determinations, licenses, or other forms of administrative
action that have been made, issued, conducted, or allowed to become
effective under the Export Administration Act of 1979 (50 U.S.C. 4601
et seq.) (as in effect prior to August 13, 2018, and as continued in
effect pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50
U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001, 3
CFR, 2001 Comp., p. 783 (2002), as amended by Executive Order 13637 of
March 8, 2013, 78 FR 16129 (March 13, 2013), and as extended by the
Notice of August 8, 2018, 83 FR 39871 (August 13, 2018)), or the Export
Administration Regulations, and were in effect as of August 13, 2018,
shall continue in effect according to their terms until modified,
superseded, set aside, or revoked under the authority of ECRA.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 direct agencies to assess all
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This rule has been determined to be not significant for
purposes of Executive Order 12866. This rule is not an Executive Order
13771 regulatory action because this rule is not significant under
Executive Order 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is
required to respond to nor be subject to a penalty for failure to
comply with a collection of information, subject to the requirements of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (PRA),
unless that collection of information displays a currently valid Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number. This regulation involves
collections previously approved by OMB under control number 0694-0088,
Simplified Network Application Processing System, which includes, among
other things, license applications and carries a burden estimate of
42.5 minutes for a manual or electronic submission. Total burden hours
associated with the PRA and OMB control number 0694-0088 are not
expected to increase as a result of this rule. You may send comments
regarding the collection of information associated with this rule,
including suggestions for reducing the burden, to Jasmeet K. Seehra,
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), by email to
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or by fax to<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined in Executive Order 13132.
    4. Pursuant to section 1762 of ECRA, this action is exempt from the
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) requirements for notice of
proposed rulemaking, opportunity for public participation, and delay in
effective date.
    5. Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for
public comment are not required to be given for this rule by 5 U.S.C.
553, or by any other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., are not applicable.
Accordingly, no regulatory flexibility analysis is required and none
has been prepared.

Thanks Margo.  I just wanted to tell you that I talked with Karen and she is comfortable with all of the comments you gave me when we talked at around noon today (except the one about not discussing EOC in connection with the Administrator's decision, for the reasons I mentioned whe we talked, but since we can work with your first suggestion I assume that's not a problem).  She agrees there is redundancy and is quite open to cross-references in many places.  She noted there are some places where it's necessary to be specific about what evidence we are pointing to in support of particular points, but I think we can work that out without difficulty.  She and I both thinlk that getting your comments in writing would be very helpful in identifying and reducing the repetition.  We also think that the language you sent me from the staff paper is good and just wondered if you had a specific place where you thought it should go.  I don't think we need to talk before the 1 PM call unless you have questions about anything I've written here.  Thanks again.
