Amendments to the EDGA Exchange, Inc. Fee Schedule

November 5, 2013.
    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 November 1, 2013, EDGA Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
``EDGA'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II
and III below, which items have been prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

    \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 its fees and rebates applicable to
Members \3\ of the Exchange pursuant to EDGA Rule 15.1(a) and (c)
(``Fee Schedule'') to: (i) Increase the fee for orders yielding Flag K,
which routes to NASDAQ OMX PSX (``PSX'') using ROUC or ROUE routing
strategies; and (ii) decrease the fee for orders yielding Flag RW,
which routes to the CBOE Stock Exchange (``CBSX'') and adds liquidity.
The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Internet Web site at www.directedge.com, at the Exchange's principal
office, and at the Public Reference Room of the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The term ``Member'' is defined as ``any registered broker or
dealer, or any person associated with a registered broker or dealer,
that has been admitted to membership in the Exchange. A Member will
have the status of a ``member'' of the Exchange as that term is
defined in Section 3(a)(3) of the Act.'' See Exchange Rule 1.5(n).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend its Fee Schedule to: (i) Increase
the fee for orders yielding Flag K, which routes to PSX using ROUC or
ROUE routing strategies; and (ii) decrease the fee for orders yielding
Flag RW, which routes to CBSX and adds liquidity.
    Flag K
    In securities priced at or above $1.00, the Exchange currently
assesses a fee of $0.0028 per share for Members' orders that yield Flag
K, which routes to PSX using ROUC or ROUE routing strategies. The
Exchange proposes to amend its Fee Schedule to increase this fee to
$0.0030 per share from $0.0028 per share for Members' orders that yield
Flag K. The proposed change represents a pass through of the rate that
Direct Edge ECN LLC (d/b/a DE Route) (``DE Route''), the Exchange's
affiliated routing broker-dealer, is charged for routing orders to PSX
when it does not qualify for a volume tiered reduced fee. The Exchange
notes that the proposed change is in response to PSX's November 2013
fee change where PSX increased the fee to remove liquidity via routable
order types it charges its customers, from a fee of $0.0028 per share
to a fee of $0.0030 per share for orders that are routed to PSX.\4\
When DE Route routes to PSX, it is charged a standard rate of $0.0030
per share.\5\ DE Route will pass through this rate on PSX to the
Exchange and the Exchange, in turn, will pass through this rate to its
Members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See PSX, NASDAQ OMX PSX Pricing List, http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/Trader.aspx?id=PSX_Pricing. See also SR-PHLX-
2013-111.
    \5\ The Exchange notes that to the extent DE Route does or does
not achieve any volume tiered reduced fee on PSX, its rate for Flag
K will not change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Flag RW
    In securities priced at or above $1.00, the Exchange currently
assesses a fee of $0.0050 per share for Members' orders that yield Flag
RW, which routes to CBSX and adds liquidity. The Exchange proposes to
amend its Fee Schedule to decrease this fee from $0.0050 per share to
$0.0018 per share for Members' orders that yield Flag RW. The proposed
change represents a pass through of the rate that DE Route, the
Exchange's affiliated routing broker-dealer, is

charged for routing orders to CBSX when it does not qualify for a
volume tiered reduced fee. The Exchange notes that the proposed change
is in response to CBSX's November 2013 fee change where CBSX decreased
the fee it charges its customers, such as DE Route, from a fee of
$0.0050 per share to a fee of $0.0018 per share for orders that are
routed to CBSX in select symbols.\6\ Prior to CBSX's November 2013 fee
change, CBSX charged DE Route a fee of $0.0050 per share to remove
[sic] liquidity from CBSX for maker transactions in select symbols and
a fee of $0.0018 for all other symbols. DE Route charged its Members
the higher possible fee of $0.0050 per share.\7\ In November 2013, CBSX
removed the list of select symbols from its fee schedule, thereby
decreasing the fee it charges its customers, such as DE Route, to
remove [sic] liquidity from CBSX in select symbols from a fee of
$0.0050 per share to a fee of $0.0018 per share.\8\ Therefore, when DE
Route routes to CBSX, it is now charged a standard rate of $0.0018 per
share for all symbols.\9\ DE Route will pass through this rate on CBSX
to the Exchange and the Exchange, in turn, will pass through this rate
to its Members.

FR 41158 (July 9, 2013) (SR-CBOE-2013-065). Prior to November 1,
2013, CBSX listed the select symbols in footnote 6 to its fee
schedule. CBSX, CBOE Stock Exchange (CBSX) Fees Schedule, http://www.cboe.com/publish/cbsxfeeschedule/cbsxfeeschedule.pdf. In its
filing with the Commission, the Exchange noted that, due to internal
system limitations, the Exchange would assess a flat fee for all
orders that yield Flag RW. Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-
70135 (August 8, 2013), 78 FR 49568 (August 14, 2013) (SR-EDGA-2013-

    \9\ The Exchange notes that to the extent DE Route does or does
not achieve any volume tiered reduced fee on CBSX, its rate for Flag
RW will not change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Implementation Date
    The Exchange proposes to implement these amendments to its Fee
Schedule on 2013.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the objectives of Section 6 of the Act,\10\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4),\11\ in particular, as it is
designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees and other charges among its Members and other persons using its
facilities.

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Flag K
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to increase the pass
through fee for Members' orders that yield Flag K from $0.0028 per
share to $0.0030 per share represents an equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among Members and other
persons using its facilities because the Exchange does not levy
additional fees or offer additional rebates for orders that it routes
to PSX through DE Route. Prior to PSX's November 2013 fee change, PSX
charged its members a fee of $0.0028 per share to remove liquidity from
PSX using routable order types and charged DE Route a fee of $0.0030
per share to remove liquidity using non-routable order types, which DE
Route passed through to the Exchange and the Exchange charged a
discounted fee of $0.0028 to its Members. In November 2013, PSX
increased the fee it charges its customers, to remove liquidity from
PSX using routable order types from a fee of $0.0028 per share to a fee
of $0.0030 per share.\12\ Therefore, the Exchange believes that the
proposed change in Flag K from a fee of $0.0028 per share to a fee of
$0.0030 per share is equitable and reasonable because it accounts for
the pricing changes on PSX. In addition, the proposal allows the
Exchange to charge its Members a pass-through rate for orders that are
routed to PSX. Furthermore, the Exchange notes that routing through DE
Route is voluntary. Lastly, the Exchange also believes that the
proposed amendment is non-discriminatory because it applies uniformly
to all Members.

2013-111.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Flag RW
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to decrease the pass
through fee for Members' orders that yield Flag RW from $0.0050 per
share to $0.0018 per share represents an equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among Members and other
persons using its facilities because the Exchange does not levy
additional fees or offer additional rebates for orders that it routes
to CBSX through DE Route. Prior to CBSX's November 2013 fee change,
CBSX charged DE Route a fee of $0.0050 per share to remove [sic]
liquidity from CBSX for maker transactions in select symbols and a fee
of $0.0018 per share for all other symbols, which DE Route passed
through to the Exchange and the Exchange charged its Members the higher
possible fee of $0.0050 per share.\13\ In November 2013, CBSX removed
the list of select symbols from its fee schedule, thereby decreasing
the fee it charges its customers, such as DE Route, to remove [sic]
liquidity from CBSX in select symbols from a fee of $0.0050 per share
to a fee of $0.0018 per share.\14\ Therefore, the Exchange believes
that the proposed change in Flag RW from a fee of $0.0050 per share to
a fee of $0.0018 per share is equitable and reasonable because it
accounts for the pricing changes on CBSX. In addition, the proposal
allows the Exchange to charge its Members a pass-through rate for
orders that are routed to CBSX. Furthermore, the Exchange notes that
routing through DE Route is voluntary. Lastly, the Exchange also
believes that the proposed amendment is non-discriminatory because it
applies uniformly to all Members.

schedule. CBSX, CBOE Stock Exchange (CBSX) Fees Schedule, http://www.cboe.com/publish/cbsxfeeschedule/cbsxfeeschedule.pdf. In its

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

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

    These proposed rule changes do not impose any burden on competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act. The Exchange does not believe that any of these changes
represent a significant departure from previous pricing offered by the
Exchange or pricing offered by the Exchange's competitors.
Additionally, Members may opt to disfavor EDGA's pricing if they
believe that alternatives offer them better value. Accordingly, the
Exchange does not believe that the proposed changes will impair the
ability of Members or competing venues to maintain their competitive
standing in the financial markets.
    Flag K
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to pass through a fee of
$0.0030 per share for Members' orders that yield Flag K would increase
intermarket competition because it offers customers an alternative
means to route to PSX for the same price as entering orders on PSX
directly. The

Exchange believes that its proposal would not burden intramarket
competition because the proposed rate would apply uniformly to all
Members.
    Flag RW
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to pass through a fee of
$0.0018 per share for Members' orders that yield Flag RW would increase
intermarket competition because it offers customers an alternative
means to route to CBSX for the same price as entering orders on CBSX
directly. The Exchange believes that its proposal would not burden
intramarket competition because the proposed rate would apply uniformly
to all Members.

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)(A) of the Act \15\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) \16\ 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.

33 CFR Part 110

[Docket No. USCG-2015-0729]

Port of Miami Anchorage Area; Atlantic Ocean, Miami Beach, FL

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of study; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: U.S. Coast Guard Sector Miami received a study from the
Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Southeast Florida Coral
Reef Initiative (SEFCRI) concluding that the Miami Anchorage could be
changed to reduce threats to protected coral and its habitat. The study
indicated that the Miami Anchorage could be divided into two separate
anchorage areas to reduce threats to protected coral while also
facilitating the safe anchorage of shallow and deep draft vessels. The
Coast Guard requests comments from interested persons regarding a
possible modification of the Miami Anchorage based on the SEFCRI study.

DATES: All comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before February 1, 2016.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2015-0729 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.

II. Background and Purpose

    South Florida is home to numerous threatened and endangered marine
species, including hard and soft corals. These corals are routinely
damaged by standard maritime activities such as anchoring. Damage to
corals not only affects the survivability of individual corals but may
have a cumulative impact on the marine ecosystem as a whole.
    The Coast Guard establishes anchorage areas in order facilitate use
of the navigable waterways by both recreational and commercial vessels.
Anchorage areas ensure safe navigation, and protection of life and the
environment. The Coast Guard previously established an anchorage area
in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, east of Miami Beach, Florida.
    In 2008, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection,
Southeast Florida Coral Reef Initiative (SECFRI) in coordination with
the Anchorage Working Group (AWG) and the Coast Guard began working on
methods to reduce damage to coral in the Miami Anchorage area. SECFRI
completed a study indicating that it may be appropriate to change the
Miami Anchorage area. The revision to the Miami Anchorage described
below would break the anchorage into two authorized anchorage zones, a
western anchorage and a larger eastern anchorage. We believe such a
change would continue to ensure safe navigation in and around the Port
of Miami while preserving imperiled species in the marine environment.

III. Public Participation and Request for Comments

    We encourage you to submit comments on the change to the Miami
Anchorage area described in the SECFRI study. SECFRI's study will be
available on the docket and can be accessed on the Federal eRulemaking
Portal at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for the following
docket number: USCG-2015-0729. We will consider all submissions in
helping us to determine whether we should initiate a rulemaking to
amend our existing Miami Anchorage regulation. If you submit a comment,
please include the docket number, indicate the specific aspect of the
change described in SECFRI study to which each comment applies, and
provide a reason for each suggestion or recommendation.
    Please submit comments through the Federal eRulemaking Portal at
http://www.regulations.gov. If your material cannot be submitted using
http://www.regulations.gov, contact the person in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this document for alternate
instructions. Documents mentioned in this publication, and all public
comments, will be in our online docket at http://www.regulations.gov
and can be viewed by following that Web site's instructions.
Additionally, if you go to the online docket and sign up for email
alerts, you will be notified when comments are posted or other material
is added to the docket, including all documents published by the Coast
Guard related to this request for comments.
    We accept anonymous comments. All comments received will be posted
without change to http://www.regulations.gov and will include any
personal information you have provided. For more about privacy and the
docket, you may review a Privacy Act notice regarding the Federal
Docket Management System in the March 24, 2005 issue of the Federal
Register (70 FR 15086).
    Please provide comments regarding the possible change listed below.
In addition, please provide comments regarding potential impacts of
this possible change and/or other concerns that you may have regarding
the Miami Anchorage.
    SECFRI's study concludes that the current Miami Anchorage
established by coordinates in 33 CFR 110.188 (Atlantic Ocean off Miami
and Miami Beach, FL) could be amended to mitigate threats to coral
habitat and ensure that no vessels anchored in the area would damage
protected coral bottom. The amended coordinates would establish two
anchorages with a combined area of approximately 1.5 square miles and
reduce the total anchorage area by approximately 3 square nautical
miles. The amended anchorage areas would be established with the
following coordinates:

    Abstract: EPA is renewing an ICR for the Cross-State Air Pollution
Rule (CSAPR) trading programs to allow for continued implementation of
the programs. The information collection requirements under all five
CSAPR trading programs are reflected in the existing ICR as most
recently revised in 2016. In 2017, Texas sources were removed from two
CSAPR trading programs and EPA promulgated the Texas SO2
Trading Program using the CSAPR trading programs as a model. This ICR
renewal reflects the 2017 termination of information collection
requirements for Texas sources under the two CSAPR trading programs and
the 2019 re-establishment of some of the same requirements for some of
the same sources under the Texas trading program. Most affected sources
under the CSAPR and Texas trading programs are also subject to the Acid
Rain Program (ARP). The information collection requirements under the
CSAPR and Texas trading programs, which consist primarily of
requirements to monitor and report emissions data in accordance with 40
CFR part 75, substantially overlap and are fully integrated with ARP
information collection requirements. The burden and costs of
overlapping requirements are accounted for in the ARP ICR (OMB Control
Number 2060-0258). This ICR accounts for information collection burden
and costs under the CSAPR and Texas trading programs that are
incremental to the burden and costs already accounted for in the ARP
ICR. All data received by EPA will be treated as public information.
    Form Numbers: Agent Notice of Delegation #5900-172, Certificate of
Representation #7610-1, General Account Form #7610-5, Allowance
Transfer Form #7610-6, Retired Unit Exemption #7610-20, Allowance
Deduction #7620-4.
    Respondents/affected entities: Industry respondents are stationary,
fossil fuel-fired boilers and combustion turbines serving electricity
generators subject to the CSAPR and Texas trading programs, as well as
non-source entities voluntarily participating in allowance trading
activities. Potential state respondents are states that can elect to
submit state-determined allowance allocations for sources located in
their states.
    Respondents' obligation to respond: Industry respondents: voluntary
and mandatory (Sections 110(a) and 301(a) of the Clean Air Act). State
respondents: voluntary.
    Estimated number of respondents: 1,028 industry respondents,
including 978 affected sources and 50 non-source entities participating
in allowance trading activities, and 27 potential state respondents.
    Frequency of response: On occasion, quarterly, and annually.
    Total estimated burden: 134,423 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $18,563,878 (per year), which includes
$8,207,545 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in Estimates: There is decrease of 40,699 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This decrease is due almost entirely to adjustments in
the estimated numbers of respondents and transactions and the time
required to complete certain activities. Changes in programs--i.e., the
removal of Texas units from two CSAPR trading programs and the start of
the Texas SO2 Trading Program--together are responsible for
approximately 574 hours of the overall decrease.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail
the information the EPA will be collecting are available in the public
docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West,
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The telephone
number for the Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>. For additional
information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the EPA is soliciting
comments and information to enable it to: (i) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of
the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. The
EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval. At that time, the EPA will issue another Federal
Register notice to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: Section 3005 of Subtitle C of RCRA requires treatment,
storage or disposal facilities (TSDFs) to obtain a permit. To obtain
the permit, the TSDFs must submit an application describing the
facility's operation. There are two parts to the RCRA permit
application--Part A and Part B. Part A defines the processes to be used
for treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes; the design
capacity of such processes; and the specific hazardous wastes to be
handled at the facility. Part B requires detailed site specific
information such as geologic, hydrologic, and engineering data. In the
event that permit modifications are proposed by the applicant or the
EPA, modifications must conform to the requirements under Sections 3004
and 3005.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are private sector and State, Local, or Tribal governments.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (RCRA Section 3005).
    Estimated number of respondents: 67.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 23,669 hours. Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $3,996,222, which includes $1,204,418 in
annualized labor and $2,791,804 in annualized capital or operation &
maintenance costs.
    Changes in Estimates: The burden hours are likely to stay
substantially the same.
