listed in paragraphs (d)(1)(ii)(B) and (C) of this section.
    (A) Any person may request that EPA amend the chemical substance
list in paragraph (d)(1)(i) of this section. Your request must be in
writing and must be submitted to the address provided in 40 CFR
700.17(a). Please label your request as follows: Attention: TSCA
Chemical Data Reporting--Byproduct Exemption Request. Requests must
identify the manufacturing process and byproduct chemical substance in
question, as well as its CASRN or other chemical identification number
as identified in 40 CFR 711.15(b)(3)(i), and must contain a written
rationale for the request that provides sufficient specific
information, addressing the requirements and considerations listed in
paragraphs (d)(1)(ii)(B) and (C) of this section, including citations
and relevant documents, to demonstrate to EPA that the byproduct
substance and process in question either does or does not meet the
criteria explained in this paragraph (d)(1). If a request related to a
particular byproduct substance and process is resubmitted, any
subsequent request must clearly identify new information contained in
the request. EPA may request other information that it believes
necessary to evaluate the request. EPA will issue a written response to
each request within 120 days of receipt of the request and will
maintain copies of these responses in a docket that will be established
for each reporting cycle.
    (B) In making its determination whether this exemption should apply
to a particular manufacturing process and related byproduct substance,
the following two requirements must be met:
    (1) The byproduct substance is recycled or otherwise used to
manufacture another chemical substance within an enclosed system,
within the same overall manufacturing process, and on the same site as
that byproduct was originally manufactured.
    (2) The site is reporting under CDR other chemical substances, in
particular a chemical substance other than the byproduct substance that
was manufactured from the byproduct or manufactured in the same overall
manufacturing process.
    (C) In addition to the requirements in paragraph (d)(1)(ii)(B) of
this section, EPA will consider the totality of information available
for the process and related byproduct substance in question, including
but not limited to, one or both of the following considerations:
    (1) Whether EPA has a current interest in the byproduct substance.
    (2) Whether the byproduct substance must have already been reported
under CDR, or would be expected to be reported if not exempted by this
exemption.
    (D) After granting a petition, the Agency will initiate rulemaking
to make revisions to the list of substances in paragraph (d)(1)(i) of
this section.
    (E) To assist EPA in reaching a decision regarding a particular
request prior to a given principal reporting year, requests must be
submitted to EPA no later than 12 months prior to the start of the next
principal reporting year.
    (2) A quantity of the byproduct that is manufactured solely in the
following

equipment when it is not integral to the chemical manufacturing
processes of the site:
    (i) Pollution control equipment.
    (ii) Boilers used to generate heat or electricity for that site.

711.8, must submit the information described in this section for each
chemical substance described in Sec.  711.5 that the person
manufactured (including imported) for commercial purposes in an amount
of 25,000 lb (11,340 kg) or more (or in an amount of 2,500 lb (1,134
kg) or more for chemical substances subject to the rules, orders, or
actions described in Sec.  711.8(b)) at any one site during any
calendar year since the last principal reporting year (e.g., for the
2020 submission period, consider calendar years 2016, 2017, 2018, and
2019, because 2015 was the last principal reporting year). The
principal reporting year for each submission period is the previous
calendar year (e.g., the principal reporting year for the 2020
submission period is calendar year 2019). For all submission periods, a
separate report must be submitted for each chemical substance at each
site for which the submitter is required to report. A submitter of
information under this part must report information as described in
this section to the extent that such information is known to or
reasonably ascertainable by that person.
    (a) Reporting information to EPA. Any person who reports
information to EPA must complete a Form U using the e-CDRweb reporting
tool provided by EPA at the address set forth in Sec.  711.35. The
submission must include all information described in paragraph (b) of
this section. Persons must submit the chemical reports on a separate
single Form U for each site for which the person is required to report.
The e-CDRweb reporting tool is described in the instructions available
from EPA at the website set forth in Sec.  711.35.
    (b) Information to be reported. The information described in
paragraphs (b)(1) through (4) of this section must be reported for each
chemical substance manufactured (including imported) in an amount of

to report information described in paragraph (b)(4) of this section is
subject to exemption as described in Sec.  711.6.
    (1) A certification statement signed and dated by an authorized
official of the submitter company. The authorized official must certify
that the submitted information has been completed in compliance with
the requirements of this part and that the confidentiality claims made
on the Form U are true and correct. The certification must be signed
and dated by the authorized official for the submitter company, and
provide that person's name, official title, and email address.
    (2) Company and site information. The following currently correct
parent company and site information at the date of CDR submission must
be reported for each site at which a reportable chemical substance is
manufactured (including imported) above the applicable production
volume threshold, as described in this section (see Sec.  711.3 for the
``site'' for importers and special situations).
    (i) The legal name, address, and Dun and Bradstreet D-U-N-S[supreg]
(D&B) number for the highest-level parent company located in the United
States and, if one exists, for the highest-level foreign-based parent
company. A submitter under this part must obtain a D&B number for the
parent company if none exists and must report using the standardized
conventions for the naming of a parent company as provided in the CDR
Instructions for Reporting identified in Sec.  711.35.
    (ii) The name of a person who will serve as technical contact for
the submitter company who will be able to answer questions about the
information submitted by the company to EPA, and that technical contact
person's full mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
    (iii) The legal name and full street address of each site. A
submitter under this part must include the appropriate D&B number for
each site reported, and the county or parish (or other jurisdictional
indicator) in which the site is located. A submitter under this part
must obtain a D&B number for the site reported if none exists. For a
co-manufacturing situation in which the contracting company initiates
the report, the contracting company must report both the site
controlling the contract and the producing company's site information.
    (iv) The six-digit NAICS code for the site. A submitter under this
part must include the appropriate six-digit NAICS code for each site
reported.
    (3) Chemical-specific information. The following chemical-specific

    (A) If an importer submitting a report cannot provide the
information specified in this paragraph (b)(3)(i) because it is unknown
to the importer and claimed as confidential by the supplier of the
chemical substance or mixture, the importer must use e-CDRweb to ask
the supplier to provide the correct chemical identity and, in the case
of a mixture, the percentage of formulation and chemical function
information directly to EPA in a joint submission. Such request must
include instructions for submitting chemical identity information
electronically, using e-CDRweb and CDX (see Sec.  711.35), and for
clearly referencing the importer's submission. Contact information for
the supplier, a trade name or other designation for the chemical
substance or mixture, and a copy of the request to the supplier must be
included with the importer's submission.
    (B) If a manufacturer submitting a report cannot provide the
information specified in this paragraph (b)(3)(i) because the
reportable chemical substance is manufactured using a reactant having a
specific chemical identity that is unknown to the manufacturer and
claimed as confidential by its supplier, the manufacturer must use e-
CDRweb to ask the supplier of the confidential reactant to provide the
correct chemical identity

of the confidential reactant directly to EPA in a joint submission.
Such request must include instructions for submitting chemical identity
information electronically using e-CDRweb and CDX (see Sec.  711.35),
and for clearly referencing the manufacturer's submission. Contact
information for the supplier, a trade name or other designation for the
chemical substance, and a copy of the request to the supplier must be
included with the importer's submission.
    (C) EPA will accept only joint submissions that are submitted
electronically using e-CDRweb and CDX (see Sec.  711.35) and that
clearly reference the primary submission to which they refer.
    (ii) For the principal reporting year only, a statement indicating,
for each reportable chemical substance at each site, whether the
chemical substance is manufactured in the United States, imported into
the United States, or both manufactured in the United States and
imported into the United States.
    (iii) For the principal reporting year only, the total annual
volume (in pounds) of each reportable chemical substance domestically
manufactured or imported at each site. The total annual domestically
manufactured volume (not including imported volume) and the total
annual imported volume must be separately reported. These amounts must
be reported to two significant figures of accuracy. In addition, the
total annual volume (domestically manufactured plus imported volumes in
pounds) of each reportable chemical substance at each site for each
complete calendar year since the last principal reporting year.
    (iv) For the principal reporting year only, the volume used on site
and the volume directly exported of each reportable chemical substance

    (C) For each sector reported under paragraph (b)(4)(i)(B) of this
section, the applicable code(s) from Table 6 to paragraph (b)(4)(i)(C)
must be selected to designate the function category(ies) that best
represents the specific manner in which the chemical substance is used.
For the 2020 submission period:
    (1) Use column A in Table 6 to paragraph (b)(4)(i)(C) for chemical
substances designated in 2019 as high priority for risk evaluation
(those chemicals listed in Table 7 to paragraph (b)(4)(i)(C)); and
    (2) Use either column A or B in Table 6 to paragraph (b)(4)(i)(C)
for chemical substances not listed in Table 7 to paragraph
(b)(4)(i)(C). For the 2024 and future submission periods, use only
column A in Table 6 to paragraph (b)(4)(i)(C). A particular function
category may need to be reported more than once, to the extent that a
submitter reports more than one industrial processing or use operation/
sector combination (under paragraphs (b)(4)(i)(A) and (B) of this
section) that applies to a given function category under this
paragraph. If more than 10 unique combinations of industrial processing
or use operations/sector/function categories apply to a chemical
substance, submitters need only report the 10 unique combinations for
the chemical substance that cumulatively represent the largest
percentage of the submitter's production volume for that chemical
substance, measured by weight. If none of the listed function
categories accurately describes a use of a chemical substance, the
category ``Other'' may be used, and must include a description of the
use.

    (D) The estimated percentage, rounded off to the closest 10
percent, of total production volume of the reportable chemical
substance associated with each combination of industrial processing or
use operation, sector, and function category. Where a particular
combination of industrial processing or use operation, sector, and
function category accounts for less than 5 percent of the submitter's
site's total production volume of a reportable chemical substance, the
percentage must not be rounded off to 0 percent if the production
volume attributable to that industrial processing or use operation,
sector, and function category combination is 25,000 lb (11,340 kg) or
more during the reporting year. Instead, in such a case, submitters
must report the percentage, rounded off to the closest 1 percent, of
the submitter's site's total production volume of the reportable
chemical substance associated with the particular combination of
industrial processing or use operation, sector, and function category.
    (E) For each combination of industrial processing or use operation,
sector, and function category, the submitter must estimate the number
of sites at which each reportable chemical substance is processed or
used. For each combination associated with each chemical substance, the
submitter must select from among the ranges of sites listed in Table 8
to paragraph (b)(4)(i)(E) and report the corresponding code (i.e., S1
through S7):

 Table 8 to Paragraph (b)(4)(i)(E)--Codes for Reporting Numbers of Sites

                                   sites.
S6..............................  At least 1,000 but fewer than 10,000
                                   sites.
S7..............................  At least 10,000 sites.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (F) For each combination of industrial processing or use operation,
sector, and function category, the submitter must estimate the number
of workers reasonably likely to be exposed to each reportable chemical
substance. For each combination associated with each chemical
substance, the submitter must select from among the worker ranges
listed in paragraph (b)(3)(vii) of this section and report the
corresponding code (i.e., W1 though W8).
    (ii) Consumer and commercial use information--(A) Using the
applicable codes listed in Table 9 to paragraph (b)(4)(ii)(A),
submitters must designate the consumer and commercial product
category(ies) that best describe the consumer and commercial products
in which each reportable chemical substance is used (whether the
recipient site(s) are controlled by the submitter site or not). For the
2020 submission period:
    (1) Use column A in Table 9 to paragraph (b)(4)(ii)(A) for chemical
substances designated in 2019 as high priority for risk evaluation
(those chemicals listed in Table 7 to paragraph (b)(4)(i)(C); and
    (2) Use either column A or B in Table 9 to paragraph (b)(4)(ii)(A)
for chemical substances not listed in Table 7 to paragraph
(b)(4)(i)(C). For the 2024 and future submission periods, use only
column A in Table 9 to paragraph (b)(4)(ii)(A). If more than 10 codes
apply to a chemical substance, submitters need only report the 10 codes
for the chemical substance that cumulatively represent the largest
percentage of the submitter's production volume for that chemical,
measured by weight. If none of the listed consumer and commercial
product categories accurately describes the consumer and commercial
products in which each reportable chemical substance is used, the
category ``Other'' may be used, and must include a description of the
use.

For the 2020 submission period: (1) Use column A for chemical substances designated in 2019 as high priority for
  risk evaluation (those chemicals listed in Table 7 to paragraph (b)(4)(i)(C) and (2) use either column A or B
  for chemical substances not listed in Table 7 to paragraph (b)(4)(i)(C).
For the 2024 and future submission periods, use only column A.

    (B) For each consumer and commercial product category reported
under paragraph (b)(4)(ii)(A) of this section, the applicable code(s)
described in paragraph (b)(4)(i)(C) of this section must be selected to
designate the function category(ies) that best represents the specific
manner in which the chemical substance is used. For the 2020 submission
period:
    (1) Use column A in Table 6 to paragraph (b)(4)(i)(C) for chemical
substances designated in 2019 as high priority for risk evaluation
(those chemicals listed in Table 7 to paragraph (b)(4)(i)(C); and
    (2) Use either column A or B in Table 6 to paragraph (b)(4)(i)(C)
for chemical substances not listed in Table 7 to paragraph
(b)(4)(i)(C). For the 2024 and future submission periods, use only
column A in Table 6 to paragraph (b)(4)(i)(C). A particular function
category may need to be reported more than once, to the extent that a
submitter reports more than one consumer or commercial product category
(under paragraph (b)(4)(ii)(A) of this section) that applies to a given
function category under this paragraph. If none of the listed function
categories accurately describes a use of a chemical substance, the
category ``Other'' may be used, and must include a description of the
use.
    (C) An indication, within each consumer and commercial product
category reported under paragraph (b)(4)(ii)(A) of this section,
whether the use is a consumer or a commercial use.
    (D) Submitters must determine, within each consumer and commercial
product category reported under paragraph (b)(4)(ii)(A) of this
section, whether any amount of each reportable chemical substance
manufactured (including imported) by the submitter is present in (for
example, a plasticizer chemical substance used to make pacifiers) or on
(for example, as a component in the paint on a toy) any consumer
products intended for use by children age 14 or younger, regardless of
the concentration of the chemical substance remaining in or on the
product. Submitters must select from the following options: The
chemical substance is used in or on any consumer products intended for
use by children; the chemical substance is not used in or on any
consumer products intended for use by children; or information as to
whether the chemical substance is used in or on any consumer products
intended for use by children is not known to or reasonably
ascertainable by the submitter.
    (E) The estimated percentage, rounded off to the closest 10
percent, of the submitter's site's total production volume of the
reportable chemical substance associated with each consumer and
commercial product

category. Where a particular consumer and commercial product category
accounts for less than 5 percent of the total production volume of a
reportable chemical substance, the percentage must not be rounded off
to 0 percent if the production volume attributable to that commercial
and consumer product category is 25,000 lb (11,340 kg) or more during
the reporting year. Instead, in such a case, submitters must report the
percentage, rounded off to the closest 1 percent, of the submitter's
site's total production volume of the reportable chemical substance
associated with the particular consumer and commercial product
category.
    (F) Where the reportable chemical substance is used in consumer or
commercial products, the estimated typical maximum concentration,
measured by weight, of the chemical substance in each consumer and
commercial product category reported under paragraph (b)(4)(ii)(A) of
this section. For each chemical substance in each commercial and
consumer product category reported under paragraph (b)(4)(ii)(A) of
this section, submitters must select from among the ranges of
concentrations listed in Table 3 to paragraph (b)(3)(viii) of this
section and report the corresponding code (i.e., M1 through M5).
    (G) Where the reportable chemical substance is used in a commercial
product, the submitter must estimate the number of commercial workers
reasonably likely to be exposed to each reportable chemical substance.
For each combination associated with each substance, the submitter must
select from among the worker ranges listed in Table 2 to paragraph
(b)(3)(vii) of this section and report the corresponding code (i.e., W1
though W8).

    All information reported to EPA in response to the requirements of
this part must be submitted during an applicable submission period,
which runs from June 1 to September 30 at 4-year intervals, beginning
in 2020. In each submission period, any person described in Sec.  711.8
must report as described in this part.

    (c) Co-manufactured chemicals. This part requires that only one
report per site be submitted on each chemical substance described in
Sec.  711.5. However, both the contracting company and producing
company are liable if no report is made. When a company contracts with
a producing company to manufacture a chemical substance, and each party
meets the definition of ``manufacturer'' as set forth in Sec.  711.3,
reporting of the co-manufactured chemical can be performed by one of
the following methods:
    (1) The contracting company initiates the required report for that
site as the primary submitter. The contracting company must indicate on
the report that this is a co-manufacturing situation, notify the
producing company, and record the production volume domestically co-
manufactured as set forth in Sec.  711.15(b)(3) and processing and use
information set forth in Sec.  711.15(b)(4). Upon notification by the
contracting company, the producing company must also record the
production volume domestically co-manufactured and complete the rest of
the report as prompted by e-CDRweb.
    (2) Upon written agreement between the contracting company and the
producing company, the producing company completes the full report for
the co-manufactured chemical. The contracting company supplies the
information not otherwise known to or reasonably ascertainable by the
producing company.

 11. Revise Sec.  711.30 to read as follows.

Sec.  711.30  Confidentiality claims.

    (a) Making confidentiality claims--(1) Generally. Any person
submitting information under this part may assert a confidentiality
claim for that information at the time it is submitted, except for
information described in paragraph (a)(2). Any such confidentiality
claims must be asserted at the time the information is submitted. These
claims will apply only to the information submitted with the claim.
Instructions for asserting confidentiality claims are provided in the
document identified in Sec.  711.35. Information claimed as
confidential in accordance with this section will be treated and
disclosed in accordance with the procedures in 40 CFR part 2 and
section 14 of TSCA.
    (2) Exceptions. Confidentiality claims cannot be asserted:
    (i) For chemical identities listed on the public portion of the
TSCA Inventory;
    (ii) For processing and use data elements required by Sec.
711.15(b)(4)(i)(A), (B), and (C) and Sec.  711.15(b)(4)(ii)(A), (B),
(C), and (D); or
    (iii) When a response is left blank or designated as ``not known or
reasonably ascertainable.''
    (3) Substantiations. All confidentiality claims must be
substantiated at time of submission, in accordance with the
requirements in paragraphs (b), (c), and (d)(1) of this section, and
must be signed and dated by an authorized official. Confidentiality
claims for the following data elements are exempt from this
substantiation requirement:
    (i) Production volume information required pursuant to Sec.
711.15(b)(3)(iii).
    (ii) Joint submission information from the primary submitter,
consisting of trade name and supplier identification required pursuant
to Sec.  711.15(b)(3)(i)(A) and (B).
    (iii) Joint submission information from the secondary submitter,
consisting of the percentage of formulation required pursuant to Sec.
711.15(b)(3)(i)(A) and (B).
    (iv) Information that is supplied in a petition submitted under
Sec.  711.6(b)(2)(iii) or Sec.  711.10(d)(1)(ii) and that is described
in section 14(c)(2) of TSCA.
    (4) Marking information claimed as confidential in confidentiality
substantiation documentation. If any of the information contained in
the answers to the questions listed in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this
section is asserted to contain information that itself is considered to
be confidential, you must clearly identify the information that is
claimed confidential.
    (5) Certification statement for claims. An authorized official
representing a person asserting a claim of confidentiality must certify
that the submission complies with the requirements of this part by
signing and dating the following certification statement:

    ``I certify that all claims for confidentiality asserted with
this submission are true and correct, and all information submitted
herein to substantiate such claims is true and correct. Any knowing
and willful misrepresentation is subject to criminal penalty
pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 1001. I further certify that: (1) I have taken
reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of the
information; (2) I have determined that the information is not
required to be disclosed or otherwise made available to the public
under any other Federal law; (3) I have a reasonable basis to
conclude that disclosure of the information is likely to cause
substantial harm to the competitive position of my company; and (4)
I have a reasonable basis to believe that the information is not
readily discoverable through reverse engineering.''

    (6) Company, site, and technical contact identity information. A
submitter may assert a claim of confidentiality for a site, company, or
technical contact identity to protect the link between that information
and the

reported chemical substance. Such claim may be asserted only when the
linkage of that information to a reportable chemical substance is
confidential and not publicly available.
    (7) Processing and use information. A submitter may assert a claim
of confidentiality for each data element required by Sec.
711.15(b)(4)(i)(D), (E) and (F) and Sec.  711.15(b)(4)(ii)(E), (F), and
(G) to protect the link between that information and the reported
chemical substance. Such claim may be asserted only when the linkage of
that information to a reportable chemical substance is confidential and
not publicly available.
    (b) All confidentiality claims requiring substantiation at time of
submission. For each data element (or information supplied in a
petition submitted under Sec.  711.6(b)(2)(iii)(A) or Sec.
711.10(d)(1)(ii)(A)) that is claimed as confidential, you must submit
with your report detailed written answers to the following questions:
    (1) Will disclosure of the information claimed as confidential
likely cause substantial harm to your business's competitive position?
If you answered yes, describe the substantial harmful effects that
would likely result to your competitive position if the information is
disclosed, including but not limited to how a competitor could use such
information, and the causal relationship between the disclosure and the
harmful effects.
    (2) To the extent your business has disclosed the information to
others (both internally and externally), has your business taken
precautions to protect the confidentiality of the disclosed
information? If yes, please explain and identify the specific measures,
including but not limited to internal controls, that your business has
taken to protect the information claimed as confidential.
    (3)(i) Is any of the information claimed as confidential required
to be publicly disclosed under any other Federal law? If yes, please
explain.
    (ii) Does any of the information claimed as confidential otherwise
appear in any public documents, including (but not limited to) safety
data sheets; advertising or promotional material; professional or trade
publications; state, local, or Federal agency files; or any other media
or publications available to the general public? If yes, please explain
why the information should be treated as confidential.
    (iii) Does any of the information claimed as confidential appear in
one or more patents or patent applications? If yes, please provide the
associated patent number or patent application number (or numbers) and
explain why the information should be treated as confidential.
    (4) Does any of the information that you are claiming as
confidential constitute a trade secret? If yes, please explain how the
information you are claiming as confidential constitutes a trade
secret.
    (5) Is the claim of confidentiality intended to last less than 10
years (see TSCA section 14(e)(1)(B))? If yes, please indicate the
number of years (between 1-10 years) or the specific date after which
the claim is withdrawn.
    (6) Has EPA, another federal agency, or court made any
confidentiality determination regarding information associated with
this chemical substance? If yes, please provide the circumstances
associated with the prior determination, whether the information was
found to be entitled to confidential treatment, the entity that made
the decision, and the date of the determination.
    (c) Additional requirements for specific chemical identity. A
person may assert a claim of confidentiality for the specific chemical
identity of a chemical substance as described in Sec.  711.15(b)(3) of
this part only if the identity of that chemical substance is treated as
confidential in the Master Inventory File as of the time the report is
submitted for that chemical substance. Generic chemical identities and
accession numbers may not be claimed as confidential. To assert a claim
of confidentiality for the identity of a reportable chemical substance,
you must submit with the report detailed written answers to the
questions from paragraph (b) of this section and to the following
questions.
    (1) Is this chemical substance publicly known (including by your
competitors) to be in U.S. commerce? If yes, please explain why the
specific chemical identity should still be afforded confidential status
(e.g., the chemical substance is publicly known only as being
distributed in commerce for research and development purposes, but no
other information about the current commercial distribution of the
chemical substance in the United States is publicly available). If no,
please complete the certification statement:

    I certify that on the date referenced, I searched the internet
for the chemical substance identity (i.e., by both chemical
substance name and CASRN). I did not find a reference to this
chemical substance that would indicate that the chemical is being
manufactured or imported by anyone for a commercial purpose in the
United States. [provide date].

    (2) Does this particular chemical substance leave the site of
manufacture (including import) in any form, e.g., as a product,
effluent, emission? If yes, please explain what measures have been
taken to guard against the discovery of its identity.
    (3) If the chemical substance leaves the site in a form that is
available to the public or your competitors, can the chemical identity
be readily discovered by analysis of the substance (e.g., product,
effluent, emission), in light of existing technologies and any costs,
difficulties, or limitations associated with such technologies? Please
explain why or why not.
    (4) Would disclosure of the specific chemical name release
confidential process information? If yes, please explain.
    (d) Special situations. (1) Joint submissions. If a primary
submitter asks a secondary submitter to provide information directly to
EPA in a joint submission under Sec.  711.15(b)(3)(i)(A) and (B), only
the primary submitter may assert a confidentiality claim for the data
elements that it directly submits to EPA. The primary submitter must
substantiate those claims that are not exempt under paragraph
(a)(3)(ii) of this section. The secondary submitter is responsible for
asserting all confidentiality claims for the data elements that it
submits directly to EPA and for substantiating those claims that are
not exempt under paragraph (a)(3)(iii) of this section.
    (2) Petitions. If a petition submitted under Sec.
711.6(b)(2)(iii)(A) or Sec.  711.10(d)(1)(ii)(A) includes any
information claimed as confidential, the petitioner must provide a
version of the petition that redacts the information claimed as
confidential.
    (e) No claim of confidentiality. Information not claimed as
confidential in accordance with the requirements of this section may be
made public without further notice to the submitter.

Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to section 12(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d)

    The Board of Directors (``Board'') of the Issuer adopted
resolutions on February 10, 2006 to withdraw the Securities from

PCX. The Issuer also stated that withdrawal of the Securities from PCX
will not violate any law of the State of Washington, the state in which
the Issuer is incorporated.
    The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the
Securities from listing on PCX and shall not affect their continued
listing on NYSE or their obligation to be registered under section

Self-Regulatory Organizations; C2 Options Exchange, Incorporated;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change
To Amend the Fees Schedule

October 6, 2017.
    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 September 21, 2017, C2 Options Exchange, Incorporated (the
``Exchange'' or ``C2'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described
in Items I and II, below, which Items have been prepared by the
Exchange. The Exchange filed the proposal as a ``non-controversial''
proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act
\3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\4\ The Commission is publishing
this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from
interested persons.

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend its Fees Schedule to correct an
inadvertent marking error made to the Exhibit 5 in a previous rule
filing.
    The text of the proposed rule change is also 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 its Fees Schedule to correct an
inadvertent marking error made to the Exhibit 5 in a previous rule
filing. Specifically, on April 13, 2017, the Exchange filed a rule
filing, SR-C2-2017-015, which proposed to eliminate certain PULSe fees,
effective April 3, 2017.\5\ The Exchange notes that it mistakenly used
outdated text contained in Section 11 of the Fees Schedule in the
Exhibit 5 of that filing. Particularly, prior to filing SR-C2-2017-015,
the Exchange had reduced the monthly fee assessed to TPHs who either
receive or send drop copies via a PULSe workstation. More specifically,
if a customer receiving drop copies is a TPH, that TPH customer (the
receiving TPH) is now charged a fee of $425 per month (down from $1000
per month), per PULSe broker from whom it receives drop copies via
PULSe. If a customer receiving drop copies is a non-TPH, the PULSe
broker (the sending TPH) who sends drop copies via PULSe to that
customer is now charged a fee of $400 per month (down from $500 per
month).\6\ The Exhibit 5 filed in SR-C2-2017-015 however, inadvertently
did not reflect the new prices that had previously been adopted for
Drop Copy fees (i.e., $425 per month and $400 per month). Rather it
listed the older prices of $1,000 per month and $500 per month,
respectively. The Exchange notes that it was not its intention to
revert back to the old pricing and that no such change was otherwise
implemented, referenced or implied in the 19b-4 of SR-C2-2017-008 or
any other filing since then. Rather it was an inadvertent mistake that
the Exchange seeks to correct.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Exchange initially filed the proposed fee change on
April 3, 2017 (SR-C2-2017-012). On April 13, 2017, the Exchange
withdrew that filing and submitted SR-C2-2017-015. See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 80473 (April 17, 2017), 82 FR 18790 (April
21, 2017) (SR-C2-2017-015).
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80031 (February 13,
2017), 82 FR 11087 (February 17, 2017) (SR-C2-2017-008). The
Exchange notes that in the filing that adopted the Drop Copy fees,
the appended footnote for the ``Drop Copy (received by non-TPH
customer)'' fee mistakenly referenced the fee as $1,000/month
instead of $500/month. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 79807
(January 17, 2017), 82 FR 8238 (January 24, 2017) (SR-C2-2017-002).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Lastly, the Exchange notes that it had previously renamed the
``OATS Reporting'' fee to the ``Equity Order Reports'' fee.\7\ The
Exchange inadvertently did not incorporate the name change in the
Exhibit 5 of SR-C2-2017-015. The Exchange notes that it was not its
intention to revert back to the old name and that no such change was
otherwise referenced or implied in the 19b-4 of SR-C2-2017-008 or any
other filing since then.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Accordingly, the Exchange proposes to amend the Fees Schedule to
reflect the accurate prices of the Drop Copy Fees and the accurate name
of the Equity Order Reports fee. No substantive changes are being made
by the proposed rule change.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange and, in particular,
the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\8\ Specifically, the
Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Section 6(b)(5) \9\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange believes correcting an inadvertent marking error from
a previous rule filing in order to accurately reflect the Drop Copy
prices and the name of the Equity Order Reports fee will alleviate
potential confusion, thereby removing impediments to and perfecting the
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system and
protecting investors and the public interest.

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 discussed above, the
proposed change is merely intended to correct an inadvertent marking
error made in a previous rule filing, which will alleviate potential
confusion.

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 comments on the
proposed rule change.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \10\ and
subparagraph (f)(6) Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the
Exchange's 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. The
Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \12\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\13\ the Commission
may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange requests
that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay. The Exchange
notes that currently the Fees Schedule doesn't reflect accurate fees
relating to Drop Copy fees and the accurate name of the Equity Order
Reports fee. C2 also explains that the proposal would allow immediate
correction of the Fees Schedule, and could avoid potential confusion to
market participants regarding the applicability of its fees. The
Commission believes that waiving

the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest as it will allow the Exchange to
accurately represent the fees it charges and thereby avoid potential
confusion of market participants. Accordingly, the Commission hereby
waives the 30-day operative delay and designates the proposed rule
change operative upon filing.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \14\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
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:
