number for the Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>. For additional
information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: Under the authority of sections 3004, 3005, 3008 and 3010
of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, EPA
revised the RCRA hazardous waste permitting program to allow a
``standardized permit.'' The standardized permit is available to
facilities that generate hazardous waste and routinely manage the waste
on-site in non-thermal units such as tanks, containers, and containment
buildings. In addition, the standardized permit is available to
facilities that receive hazardous waste generated off-site by a
generator under the same ownership as the receiving facility, and then
store or non-thermally treat the hazardous waste in containers, tanks,
or containment buildings. The RCRA standardized permit consists of two
components: A uniform portion that is included in all cases, and a
supplemental portion that the Director of a regulatory agency includes
at his or her discretion. The uniform portion consists of terms and
conditions, relevant to the unit(s) at the permitted facility, and is
established on a national basis. The Director, at his or her
discretion, may also issue a supplemental portion on a case-by-case
basis. The supplemental portion imposes site-specific permit terms and
conditions that the Director determines necessary to institute
corrective action under section 264.101 (or state equivalent), or
otherwise necessary to protect human health and the environment. Owners
and operators have to comply with the terms and conditions in the
supplemental portion, in addition to those in the uniform portion.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are business or other for-profit.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary (40 CFR 270.275).
    Estimated number of respondents: 1.
    Frequency of response: One time.
    Total estimated burden: 218 hours per year. Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $11,612 (per year), includes $525 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 13,730 hours for
this renewal. This decrease is based on the decrease from the estimated
number of respondents from 86 to 1. In the 13 years since the
Standardized Permit Rule was finalized, there has only been one such
permit issued.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-71286; File No. SR-BX-2013-065]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend the
Fee Schedule Under Exchange Rule 7018(a) With Respect to Transactions
in Securities Priced at $1 per Share or More

January 10, 2014.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on December 30, 2013, NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc. (``BX'' or ``Exchange'')
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 change from
interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend the fee schedule under Exchange Rule
7018(a) with respect to transactions in securities priced at $1 per
share or more. The Exchange will implement the proposed rule change on
January 2, 2014.
    The text of the proposed rule change is also available on the
Exchange's Web site at http://nasdaqomxbx.cchwallstreet.com, at the
principal office of the Exchange, 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 is proposing to adopt a new tier with respect to the
rebates it pays for orders that access liquidity in securities priced
at $1 or more. The new tier applies to members that are active in both
the NASDAQ OMX BX Equities System (the ``BX Equities System'') and BX
Options. As such, the tier is similar to various tiers that have
previously been introduced by the NASDAQ Stock Market for members of
that exchange that are active in both the NASDAQ Market Center and the
NASDAQ Options Market, as well as a tier with respect to charges of
providing liquidity that was introduced by the Exchange in December
2013.\3\ Under the proposed tier, a member will receive a credit of
$0.0013 per share executed when accessing liquidity \4\ if the member
(i) has a daily average volume of liquidity accessed in all securities
during the month of 6 million or more shares through one or more of its
BX Equities System market participant identifiers (``MPIDs''), and (ii)
adds and/or removes liquidity of 40,000 or more contracts per day
during the month through BX Options.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See NASDAQ Rule 7018(a); Securities Exchange Act Release No.
71055 (December 12, 2013), 78 FR 76689 (December 18, 2013) (SR-BX-
2013-059).
    \4\ As with other rebate tiers, the proposed tier does not apply
to an order that executes against a midpoint pegged order, because
the accessing order receives price improvement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed tier recognizes the prevalence of trading in which
members simultaneously trade different asset classes within the same
strategy. Because cash equities and options markets are linked, with
liquidity and trading patterns on one market affecting those on the
other, the Exchange believes that a pricing incentive that encourages
market participant activity in BX Options will also support price
discovery and liquidity provision in the BX Equities System.
2. Statutory Basis
    BX believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 6 of the Act,\5\ in general, and Sections 6(b)(4)
and (b)(5) of the Act,\6\ in particular, because 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 that
the Exchange operates or controls, and it does not unfairly
discriminate between customers, issuers, brokers or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4), (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The change with respect to a new tier for members active in both
the BX Equities System and BX Options is reasonable because it reflects
the availability of a price reduction for members that support
liquidity on both markets. The change is consistent with an equitable
allocation of fees because the pricing tier requires significant levels
of activity in both markets, and is therefore consistent with
volumetric pricing tiers at BX and many other exchanges, which offer
better pricing to members that make significant use of an Exchange's
services. The change is also consistent with an equitable allocation of
fees because activity in BX Options also supports price discovery and
liquidity provision in the BX Equities System due to the increasing
propensity of market participants to be active in both markets and the
influence of each market on the pricing of securities in the other.
Moreover, the new tier has the potential to reduce fees for a wider
range of market participants by introducing a new means of qualifying
for a higher credit for accessing liquidity. The change is not
unreasonably discriminatory because market participants may qualify for
a comparable credit without participating in BX Options through another
volumetric pricing tier that BX offers.

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

    The Exchange 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.\7\
BX notes that it operates in a highly competitive market in which
market participants can readily favor competing venues if they deem fee
levels at a particular venue to be excessive, or rebate opportunities
available at other venues to be more favorable. In such an environment,
BX must continually adjust its fees to remain competitive with other
exchanges and with alternative trading systems that have been exempted
from compliance with the statutory standards applicable to exchanges.
Because competitors are free to modify their own fees in response, and
because market participants may readily adjust their order routing
practices, BX believes that the degree to which fee changes in this
market may impose any burden on competition is extremely limited. In
this instance, the change with respect to a new pricing tier for
members active in the Exchange's cash equities and options markets
enhances the Exchange's competitiveness by reducing fees. However,
because competitors may readily change their own prices in response, BX
does not believe that the proposed changes will impair the ability of
members or competing order execution venues to maintain their
competitive standing in the financial markets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    The foregoing change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \8\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \9\
thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed
rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

Federal Aviation Administration

Notice of Intent To Rule on Request To Release Airport Property
at Houma Terrebonne Airport, Houma, LA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of request to release airport property.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to rule and invites public comment on the
release of land at the Houma Terrebonne Airport, Houma, Louisiana. The
property consists of two small parcels of land, together with all the
improvements situated thereon, and all the rights, ways, privileges,
servitudes and advantages thereunto belonging or in anywise
appertaining. This land is located approximately 4,700 feet west of the
Houma Terrebonne Airport, of Houma, Louisiana. The land in question was
acquired by the Terrebonne Parish on June 17, 1958, through provisions
of the Federal Property Administrative Services Act of 1949 (63 Stat.
765), the Surplus Property Act of 1944 (58 Stat. 765) as amended
thereby.
    As airport owner, the Terrebonne Parish has requested to release
two parcels in an effort to obtain additional funding for airport
improvement at the Houma Terrebonne Airport. As part of this release,
this parcel will change from aeronautical to non-aeronautical use and
be limited to some type of commercial or industrial use under the
provisions of Section 125 of the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment
Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21).

DATES: Comments must be received on or before May 20, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Comments on this application may be mailed or delivered to
the FAA at the following address: Mr. Lacey D. Spriggs, Federal
Aviation Administration, Southwest Region, Airports Division, Manager/
Louisiana/New Mexico Airports Development Office, ASW-640, Fort Worth,
Texas 76137-0640.
    In addition, one copy of any comments submitted to the FAA must be
mailed or delivered to Mr. Bradley R. Brandt, Louisiana Department of
Transportation, Acting Aviation Director, at the following address:
P.O. Box 94245, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70804-9245.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Justin Barker, Federal Aviation
Administration, Program Manager/Louisiana/New Mexico Airports
Development, Office, ASW-640, 2601 Meacham Boulevard, Fort Worth, Texas
76137-0640.
    The request to release property may be reviewed in person at this
same location.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the
request to release property at the Houma Terrebonne Airport under the
provisions of the AIR 21.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    As airport owner, the Terrebonne Parish has requested to release
two parcels comprised of 0.064 acres and of 0.085 acres that was
acquired under the Federal Property Administrative

Services Act of 1949 (63 Stat. 765), the Surplus Property Act of 1944
(58 Stat. 765) as amended thereby.
    The release of property will not adversely affect the Houma
Terrebonne Airport because these parcels are located on the east side
of Louisiana 57, at southeast corner with Hancock Road, approximately
4,700 feet west of the airport Houma Terrebonne Airport. These parcels
are situated in Section 12, Township 17 South, Range 17 East,
Southeastern (West of River) Land District, Terrebonne Parish,
Louisiana. The sale is estimated to provide $12,939.80 and $20,943.00
for a sum of $33,882.80 to be used for airport improvements at the
Houma Terrebonne Airport.
    Any person may inspect the request in person at the FAA office
listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
    In addition, any person may, upon request, inspect the application,
notice and other documents germane to the application in person at the
Houma Terrebonne Airport.
