SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-61514; File No. SR-BX-2010-013]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc.; Notice of
Filing of Proposed Rule Change To Modify Fees for Members Using the
NASDAQ OMX BX Equities System

February 12, 2010.
    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 January 29, 2010, NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc. (``BX'') 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 Exchange. 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

    BX is filing a proposed rule change to modify pricing for BX
members using the NASDAQ OMX BX Equities System. BX will implement the
proposed rule change on February 1, 2010. The text of the proposed rule
change is attached as Exhibit 5 \3\and is available at http://
nasdaqomxbx.cchwallstreet.com.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Commission notes that Exhibit 5 is not attached to this
Notice which is being published in the Federal Register, however it
will be posted on the Commission's Web site.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    In its filing with the Commission, BX 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. BX 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
    BX is proposing to modify its fees to execute transactions on the
NASDAQ OMX BX Equities System. BX is modifying its fee structure for
securities that execute at prices below $1. For these securities, BX
currently charges members accessing liquidity a fee equal to 0.1% (10
basis points) of the total transaction cost and provides no credit to
members providing liquidity. Under the new fee structure, members
accessing liquidity will be charged 0.3% (30 basis points) of the total
transaction cost, and members providing liquidity will be provided a
credit equal to 0.25% (25 basis points) of the total transaction cost.
The change is intended to provide a competitive response to another
trading venue that has adopted a similar ``maker-taker'' pricing
structure for securities priced below $1.\4\ The proposal is consistent
with the provisions of Rule 610 under Regulation NMS\5\ that govern
access fees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See http://www.directedge.com/SubscriberInfo/
FeeSchedule.aspx.
    \5\ 17 CFR 242.610.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    BX believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 6 of the Act,\6\ in general, and with Section
6(b)(4) of the Act,\7\ in particular, in that it provides for the
equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among
members and issuers and other persons using any facility or system
which BX operates or controls. BX is adapting the ``maker-taker''
pricing model that is prevalent across most U.S. transaction venues for
securities priced at $1 or higher and applying it [sic] securities
priced below $1. This change is a competitive response to another
trading venue that has already introduced this pricing model for low-
priced securities. The change will result in a fee increase for firms
when they access liquidity in these securities and a fee reduction for
firms when they provide liquidity in these stocks. The proposed fee
change applies uniformly to all BX members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The impact of the changes upon the net fees paid by a particular
market participant will depend upon the types of stocks that it trades,
the order types that it uses, and the prices of its quotes and orders
(i.e., its propensity to add or remove liquidity). BX notes that it
operates in a highly competitive market in which market participants
can readily direct order flow to competing venues if they deem fee
levels at a particular venue to be excessive. BX believes that its fees
remain competitive with other venues and are reasonable and equitably
allocated to those members on the basis of whether they opt to direct
orders to BX.

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

    BX does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in
any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

 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)(ii) of the Act\8\ and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4
thereunder.\9\ At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed
rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(a)(ii).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

C. Privacy Act

comments, without edit, including any personal information the
commenter provides, to www.regulations.gov, as described in the system
of records notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at
www.dot.gov/privacy.

II. Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
for five years if it finds that such exemption would likely achieve a
level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that
would be achieved absent such exemption. The statute also allows the
Agency to renew exemptions at the end of the five-year period. FMCSA
grants exemptions from the FMCSRs for a two-year period to align with
the maximum duration of a driver's medical certification.
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding vision
found in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) states that a person is physically
qualified to drive a CMV if that person has distant visual acuity of at
least 20/40 (Snellen) in each eye without corrective lenses or visual
acuity separately corrected to 20/40 (Snellen) or better with
corrective lenses, distant binocular acuity of a least 20/40 (Snellen)
in both eyes with or without corrective lenses, field of vision of at
least 70[deg] in the horizontal meridian in each eye, and the ability
to recognize the colors of traffic signals and devices showing red,
green, and amber.
    The 71 individuals listed in this notice have requested renewal of
their exemptions from the vision standard in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), in
accordance with FMCSA procedures. Accordingly, FMCSA has evaluated
these applications for renewal on their merits and decided to extend
each exemption for a renewable two-year period.

III. Request for Comments

    Interested parties or organizations possessing information that
would otherwise show that any, or all, of these drivers are not
currently achieving the statutory level of safety should immediately
notify FMCSA. The Agency will evaluate any adverse evidence submitted
and, if safety is being compromised or if continuation of the exemption
would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA will take immediate steps to revoke the
exemption of a driver.

IV. Basis for Renewing Exemptions

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(1), an exemption may be granted for no
longer than five years from its approval date and may be renewed upon
application. FMCSA grants exemptions from the vision standard for a
two-year period to align with the maximum duration of a driver's
medical certification. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315,
each of the 71 applicants has satisfied the renewal conditions for
obtaining an exemption from the vision standard (see 64 FR 54948; 65 FR

that the vision in the better eye continues to meet the requirement
specified at 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) and that the vision impairment is
stable. In addition, a review of each record of safety while driving
with the respective vision deficiencies over the past two years
indicates each applicant continues to meet the vision exemption
requirements. These factors provide an adequate basis for predicting
each driver's ability to continue to drive safely in interstate
commerce. Therefore, FMCSA concludes that extending the exemption for
each renewal applicant for a period of two years is likely to achieve a
level of safety equal to that existing without the exemption.

V. Conditions and Requirements

    The exemptions are extended subject to the following conditions:
(1) Each driver must undergo an annual physical examination (a) by an
ophthalmologist or optometrist who attests that the vision in the
better eye continues to meet the requirements in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10),
and (b) by a certified Medical Examiner, as defined by 49 CFR 390.5,
who attests that the driver is otherwise physically qualified under 49
CFR 391.41; (2) each driver must provide a copy of the
ophthalmologist's or optometrist's report to the Medical Examiner at
the time of the annual medical examination; and (3) each driver must
provide a copy of the annual medical certification to the employer for
retention in the driver's qualification file or keep a copy of his/her
driver's qualification if he/her is self- employed. The driver must
also have a copy of the exemption when

driving, for presentation to a duly authorized Federal, State, or local
enforcement official. The exemption will be rescinded if: (1) The
person fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the exemption;
(2) the exemption has resulted in a lower level of safety than was
maintained before it was granted; or (3) continuation of the exemption
would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315.

VI. Preemption

    During the period the exemption is in effect, no State shall
enforce any law or regulation that conflicts with this exemption with
respect to a person operating under the exemption.

VI. Conclusion

    Based upon its evaluation of the 71 exemption applications, FMCSA
renews the exemptions of the aforementioned drivers from the vision
requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), subject to the requirements cited
above. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, each exemption
will be valid for two years unless revoked earlier by FMCSA.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Notice of Submission Deadline for Schedule Information for
Chicago O'Hare International Airport, John F. Kennedy International
Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, Newark Liberty
International Airport, and San Francisco International Airport for the
Winter 2018/2019 Scheduling Season

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

ACTION: Notice of submission deadline.

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

SUMMARY: Under this notice, the FAA announces the submission deadline
of May 17, 2018, for winter 2018/2019

flight schedules at Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD), John F.
Kennedy International Airport (JFK), Los Angeles International Airport
(LAX), Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), and San Francisco
International Airport (SFO). The deadline coincides with the schedule
submission deadline for the International Air Transport Association
(IATA) Slot Conference for the winter 2018/2019 scheduling season.

DATES: Schedules must be submitted no later than May 17, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Schedules may be submitted by mail to the Slot
Administration Office, AGC-200, Office of the Chief Counsel, 800
Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20591; facsimile:<PHONE_NUMBER>;
or by email to: [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bryan Bourgoin, System Operations
Services, Air Traffic Organization, Federal Aviation Administration,
AJR-0, Room 300W, 800 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20591;
telephone number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA has designated EWR, LAX, ORD\\, and
SFO as IATA Level 2 airports and JFK as an IATA Level 3 airport under
the Worldwide Slot Guidelines (WSG). The FAA currently limits scheduled
operations at JFK by Order until October 27, 2018.\1\ The FAA intends
to extend the effective date of the JFK Order prior to the expiration
of the current Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Operating Limitations at John F. Kennedy International
Airport, 73 FR 3510 (Jan. 18, 2008), as amended 81 FR 40167 (June
21, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA is primarily concerned about scheduled and other regularly
conducted commercial operations during peak hours, but carriers may
submit schedule plans for the entire day. At ORD, the peak hours for
the winter 2018/2019 scheduling season are 0700 to 2100 Central Time
(1300 to 0300 UTC), at LAX and SFO from 0600 to 2300 Pacific Time (1400
to 0700 UTC), and at EWR and JFK from 0600 to 2300 Eastern Time (1100
to 0400 UTC). These hours are unchanged from previous scheduling
seasons. Carriers should submit schedule information in sufficient
detail including, at minimum, the marketing or operating carrier,
flight number, scheduled time of operation, frequency, aircraft
equipment, and effective dates. IATA standard schedule information
format and data elements for communications at Level 2 and Level 3
airports in the IATA Standard Schedules Information Manual (SSIM)
Chapter 6 may be used. The WSG provides additional information on
schedule submissions at Level 2 and Level 3 airports.
    The U.S. winter scheduling season is from October 28, 2018, through
March 30, 2019, in recognition of the IATA northern winter scheduling
period. The FAA understands there may be differences in schedule times
due to different U.S. daylight saving time dates and will accommodate
these differences to the extent possible.

General Information for All Airports

    The FAA considers several factors and priorities as it reviews
schedule requests at Level 2 airports. The WSG states that schedule
facilitation is based on schedule adjustments mutually agreed between
the airlines and the facilitator; to avoid exceeding the airport's
coordination parameters, that the concepts of historic precedence and
series of slots do not apply at Level 2 airports, and that the
facilitator should adjust the smallest number of flights by the least
amount of time necessary to avoid exceeding the airport's coordination
parameters. The WSG also includes priorities such as services from the
previous equivalent season over new demand for the same timings,
services that are unchanged over services that plan to change time or
other capacity relevant parameters, introduction of year-round
services, effective period of operation, regularly planned operations
over ad hoc operations, and other operational factors that may limit a
carrier's timing flexibility. In addition, Congress, the Department of
Transportation (DOT), through the FAA and the Office of the Secretary
(OST), and the Department of Justice have adopted a number of measures
to promote competition and new entry at U.S. slot controlled airports
and, likewise, the WSG has priorities to consider new entry and
competition at Level 3 airports. The FAA prioritizes new entrant
flights within the scheduling limits for the airport.
    Generally, the FAA uses average hourly runway capacity throughput
for airports and performance metrics in its schedule reviews at Level 2
airports.\2\ The FAA also considers other factors that can affect
operations, such as capacity changes due to runway, taxiway, or other
airport construction, air traffic control procedural changes, airport
surface operations, or historical or projected flight delays and
congestion. At JFK, the scheduling limit of 81 operations per hour is
established in the FAA Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The FAA typically determines an airport's average adjusted
runway capacity or throughput for Level 2 and Level 3 airports by
reviewing hourly data on the arrival and departure rates that air
traffic control indicates could be accepted for that hour, commonly
known as ``called'' rates. We also review the actual number of
arrivals and departures that operated in the same hour. Generally,
the FAA uses the higher of the two numbers, called or actual, for
identifying trends and schedule review purposes. Some dates are
excluded from analysis, such as during periods when extended airport
closures or construction could affect capacity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Slot management in the United States differs from other countries
that follow the IATA WSG. In the United States, the FAA is responsible
for facilitation and coordination of runway access for takeoffs and
landings at Level 2 and Level 3 airports; however, the airport
authority or its designee is responsible for facilitation and
coordination of terminal/gate/airport facility access. The process with
the individual airports for terminal access and other airport services
is separate from, and in addition to, the FAA schedule review based on
runway capacity. Approval from both the FAA and the airport authority
for runway and airport availability, respectively, is necessary before
implementing schedule plans. Contact information for Level 2 and Level
3 airports is available at http://www.iata.org/policy/slots/Pages/slot-guidelines.aspx.
    The FAA seeks to improve communications with carriers and schedule
facilitators at Level 2 airports on potential runway schedule issues or
terminal and gate issues that may affect the runway times. The FAA also
seeks to reduce the time that carriers consider proposed offers on
schedules, especially within peak periods or in periods of limited
availability with competing requests. Retaining open offers for
extended periods of time may delay the facilitation process for the
airport. Reducing this delay is particularly important to allow the FAA
to make informed decisions at airports where some hours are at or near
the scheduling limits. If carriers do not accept the offers or continue
to submit revised schedules that are above the limits, the FAA cannot
effectively assess the final proposed schedules. The agency recognizes
that there are circumstances that may require some schedules to remain
pending. However, the FAA expects to substantially complete the process
on initial submissions each scheduling season within 30 days of the end
of the Slot Conference. After this time, the agency would confirm the
acceptance of offers or issue a denial of schedule requests so that
there is no ambiguity about the initial approved and unapproved
schedules.
    Finally, the FAA notes that the schedule information submitted by
carriers to the FAA may be subject to

disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The WSG also
provides for release of information at certain stages of slot
coordination and schedule facilitation. In general, once it takes
action, the FAA may release information on slot allocation or similar
slot transactions or schedule information reviewed as part of the
schedule facilitation process. The FAA does not expect that practice to
change and most slot and schedule information would not be exempt from
release under FOIA. The FAA recognizes that some airlines may submit
information on schedule plans that is not available to the public and
may be considered by the carrier to be proprietary. Carriers that
submit slot or schedule information deemed proprietary should clearly
mark such information accordingly. The FAA will take the necessary
steps to protect properly designated information to the extent
allowable by law.

JFK Schedules

    The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) plans
construction on JFK Runway 13L/31R. The FAA will review the final
phasing and assess the operational impacts once the construction plans
are available. Mitigation strategies for prior runway construction
projects could be used as needed. These include a ``playbook''
describing operational plans for various runway configurations and
operating conditions, working with carriers to reduce schedules during
certain periods or retime flights to less congested periods, limiting
approval for new flights, or encouraging temporary reductions by
waiving minimum slot usage requirements. The PANYNJ holds regular
meetings with airlines and other stakeholders to discuss construction
plans and consults with the FAA and local air traffic control
facilities to minimize operational impacts. JFK operators also meet
regularly to discuss operational issues at the airport. The FAA meets
quarterly with stakeholders on operational issues in the greater New
York City area. These various local meetings may be the best source of
current construction-related information to assist in planning
schedules and operations.

EWR Schedules

    The FAA is continuing to monitor operations and delays at EWR,
especially in the busiest afternoon and evening hours. The FAA
announced the change in designation to Level 2 at EWR in April 2016.\3\
Delays in summer 2016 increased over summer 2015, in part because
allocated slots in the afternoon and evening hours were used at higher
rates than in 2015. Subsequently, as expected, delays further increased
as a result of new entry at EWR enabled by the change to Level 2.
However, compared to summer 2007 when the airport operated without
scheduling limits and slots \4\, most performance metrics for summer
2017 were better than summer 2007 despite the additional flights under
Level 2. The FAA recognizes there have been a number of changes in the
NYC area since 2007, including changes in airspace and procedures,
regulatory changes such as crew flight and duty time and long flight
(tarmac) delays, and network management by airlines. The FAA is
reviewing the current performance goals as well as any related capacity
and operational impacts caused by these changes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Change of Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)
Designation, 81 FR 19861 (Apr. 6, 2016).
    \4\ Order Limiting Scheduled Operations at Newark Liberty
International Airport, 73 FR 29550 (May 21, 2008). The EWR Order
took effect in June 2008. In addition to reviewing performance
metrics on a year-over-year basis for the busiest summer months, one
FAA goal in adopting the Order was to manage schedules and keep
delays from exceeding summer 2007 levels. In summer 2017, the number
of arriving flights delayed by two hours or more increased by 5.5
percent compared to summer 2007.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Since transitioning to Level 2, requests for flights in the
afternoon and evening hours have consistently exceeded the scheduling
limits at EWR. The FAA advised carriers it would not be able to
accommodate all requests for new operations and has reached agreement
in most cases with carriers to retime flights as necessary in the
initial seasons under Level 2. For the summer 2018 season, the FAA
lowered the scheduling limit from 81 to 79 operations per hour based on
an updated airport capacity analysis and review of summer 2017
performance. The winter season limits were already at 79 per hour based
on winter season capacity analyses. For summer 2018, the FAA encouraged
carriers to reduce operations in the peak periods and operate flights
in less congested hours to improve operations and reduce delays,
particularly in the afternoon and evening hours. However, the FAA
advised it would accept flights above the new hourly limits if the
flights were operated in summer 2017. The FAA also indicated new
flights were possible in hours with fewer than 79 operations.
    Despite the FAA's efforts to facilitate voluntary scheduling
cooperation at EWR, certain carriers have been unwilling to reduce
operations in peak hours to assist with the growing delays. Average
demand for summer 2018 in the afternoon and evening hours remains at 81
operations per hour as it was in summer 2017. There are periods when
the demand in half-hours or consecutive half-hours exceeds the optimum
runway capacity. The imbalance of scheduled arrivals and departures in
certain periods has also contributed to increased congestion and delays
when the demand exceeds the called arrival or departure rates. For
example, early afternoon arrivals exceed optimum runway capacity and
air traffic control regularly implements traffic management initiatives
including ground delay programs. Recent FAA modeling indicates retiming
arrivals from the 1400 hour to the 1300 and 1200 hours could have
significant delay reduction benefits and help preserve the Level 2
designation at EWR.
    For the summer 2018 season, airlines generally agreed to retime
requests for new flights to periods outside of the peak hours. However,
this growth has resulted in more hours with operations at the
scheduling limits. As the summer 2018 schedules are expected to be
similar to summer 2017, the performance metrics are highly unlikely to
improve without further summer schedule adjustments.
    In light of the increasing delays in the peak afternoon hours due
to the unwillingness of certain carriers to voluntarily retime historic
flights into other less congested periods and the imbalance of arrivals
and departures, the FAA is adopting new half-hourly scheduling limits
of 43 operations, in addition to the current hourly limit of 79 per
hour. As noted earlier, it is important to maintain a balance between
arrivals and departures to limit delays. The maximum number of arrivals
or departures, respectively, which can be accommodated is 43 in an hour
and 24 in a half-hour. This would allow some higher levels of
operations in certain periods (not to exceed the hourly limits) and
some recovery from lower demand in adjacent periods.\5\ The FAA is
seeking voluntary cooperation by all carriers to retime flights within
the described limits. Based on the average winter 2017/2018 schedules,
modest changes would be needed in only a few periods to be within these
limits. Additional flights could be approved in hours that are below
the scheduling limits.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The half-hour and arrival and departure limits are
approximately 55 percent of the typical hourly adjusted airport
capacity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Based on demand in winter 2017/2018 and summer 2018, the FAA
anticipates the highest demand for flights will be in the 0700 and 0800
local hours (1200 to 1359 UTC) and

1400 to 2159 local hours (1900 to 0259 UTC). Requests for new flights
will not be approved unless the hourly scheduled operations are within
the previously described hourly limits. Consistent with the WSG,
carriers should be prepared to adjust schedules to meet the hourly
limits in order to minimize potential congestion and delay.
    The FAA seeks to reach agreement with carriers to schedule flights
within the scheduling limits and urges all carriers to cooperate. The
FAA is introducing the half-hourly and arrivals and departures limits
within each hour in an effort to preserve the Level 2 designation at
EWR. If voluntary schedule adjustments are not achievable and delays
continue to increase, the FAA will consider whether a Level 3
designation is necessary. If a Level 3 designation is warranted, the
FAA will work closely with OST regarding policies for the
reintroduction of slot controls at EWR, which may include considering
options to address access at the airport. In addition, the DOT and the
FAA will determine whether a schedule reduction meeting is necessary
pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 41722.
