SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-91202]

Order Granting Application by Nasdaq ISE, LLC for Exemption
Pursuant to Section 36(a) of the Exchange Act From the Rule Filing
Requirements of Section 19(b) of the Exchange Act With Respect to the
Nasdaq Rule 1000 Series Incorporated by Reference

February 24, 2021.
    Nasdaq ISE, LLC (the ``Exchange'') has filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the ``Commission'') an application for an
exemption under Section 36(a)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Exchange Act'') \1\ from the rule filing requirements of Section
19(b) of the Exchange Act \2\ with respect to certain rules of The
Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (``Nasdaq'') that the Exchange seeks to
incorporate by reference (``Nasdaq Rule 1000 Series'').\3\ Section
36(a)(1) of the Exchange Act,\4\ subject to certain limitations,
authorizes the Commission to conditionally or unconditionally exempt
any person, security, or transaction, or any class thereof, from any
provision of the Exchange Act or rule thereunder, if necessary or
appropriate in the public interest and consistent with the protection
of investors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78mm(a)(1).
    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b).
    \3\ See letter from Brett M. Kitt, Principal Associate General
Counsel, Nasdaq Inc., to J. Matthew DeLesDernier, Assistant
Secretary, Commission, dated December 30, 2020 (``Exemptive
Request'').
    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78mm(a)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange filed a proposed rule change \5\ under Section 19(b)
of the Exchange Act to replace its existing membership rules, as set
forth in General 3 of its rulebook, with the Rule 1000 Series of the
Nasdaq rulebook, as such rules may be in effect from time to time.
Namely, in the proposed rule change, the Exchange proposed to
incorporate by reference the Nasdaq Rule 1000 Series such that Nasdaq
Rule 1000 Series would be applicable to the Exchange's applicants,
members, associated persons, and other persons subject to the
Exchange's jurisdiction as though such rules were fully set forth
within the Exchange's rulebook.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 90903 (January 12,
2021), 86 FR 5284 (January 19, 2021) (SR-ISE-2020-43). Although the
proposed rule change was filed pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii)
of the Exchange Act, and thereby became effective upon filing with
the Commission, the Exchange stipulated in its proposal that the
incorporation by reference would not be operative until such time as
the Commission grants this Exemptive Request.
    \6\ See note 5, supra.

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

    The Exchange has requested, pursuant to Rule 0-12 under the
Exchange Act,\7\ that the Commission grant the Exchange an exemption
from the rule filing requirements of Section 19(b) of the Exchange Act
for changes to the Exchange's rules that are effected solely by virtue
of a change to the Nasdaq Rule 1000 Series that are incorporated by
reference. Specifically, the Exchange requests that it be permitted to
incorporate by reference changes made to the Nasdaq Rule 1000 Series
that are cross-referenced in the Exchange's rules without the need for
the Exchange to file separately the same proposed rule change pursuant
to Section 19(b) of the Exchange Act.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 17 CFR 240.0-12.
    \8\ See Exemptive Request, supra note 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange represents that the Nasdaq Rule 1000 Series are not
trading rules.\9\ Moreover, the Exchange states that it proposes to
incorporate by reference a category of rules (rather than individual
rules within a category).\10\ The Exchange also represents that, as a
condition of this exemption, the Exchange will provide written notice
to its applicants and members whenever Nasdaq proposes a change to
Nasdaq Rule 1000 Series.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Id.
    \10\ Id. at 2 n.7.
    \11\ Id. at 3. The Exchange states that it will provide such
notice via a posting on the same website location where the Exchange
posts its own rule filings pursuant to Rule 19b-4(l) within the
timeframe required by such Rule. In addition, the Exchange states
that the website posting will include a link to the location on
Nasdaq's website where the applicable proposed rule change is
posted. Id. at 3 n.8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the Exchange, this exemption is necessary and
appropriate because it will result in the Exchange's membership rules
and processes being consistent with the relevant cross-referenced
Nasdaq membership rules and processes at all times.\12\ The Exchange
states that harmonization of the membership rules and processes between
the Exchange and Nasdaq will ease compliance burdens for those seeking
membership on both exchanges and increase internal efficiencies
associated with administering the membership rules and processes of
each exchange.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See id. at 2.
    \13\ See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission has issued exemptions similar to the Exchange's
request.\14\ In granting similar exemptions, the Commission stated that
it would consider future exemption requests, provided that:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See, e.g., Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 86896
(September 6, 2019), 84 FR 48186 (September 12, 2019) (order
granting application by Nasdaq BX, Inc. for exemption pursuant to
section 36(a) of the Exchange Act from the rule filing requirements
of section 19(b) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Nasdaq Rule
1000 Series incorporated by reference); 80338 (March 29, 2017), 82
FR 16464 (April 4, 2017) (order granting exemptive request from MIAX
PEARL, LLC relating to rules of Miami International Securities
Exchange, LLC incorporated by reference); 72650 (July 22, 2014), 79
FR 44075 (July 29, 2014) (order granting exemptive requests from
NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc. and the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC relating to
rules of NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC incorporated by reference); 67256 (June
26, 2012), 77 FR 39277, 39286 (July 2, 2012) (order approving SR-BX-
2012-030 and granting exemptive request relating to rules
incorporated by reference by the BX Options rules); 61534 (February
18, 2010), 75 FR 8760 (February 25, 2010) (order granting BATS
Exchange, Inc.'s exemptive request relating to rules incorporated by
reference by the BATS Exchange Options Market rules) (``BATS Options
Market Order''); and 57478 (March 12, 2008), 73 FR 14521, 14539-40
(March 18, 2008) (order approving SR-NASDAQ-2007-004 and SR-NASDAQ-
2007-080, and granting exemptive request relating to rules
incorporated by reference by The NASDAQ Options Market).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     A self-regulatory organization (``SRO'') wishing to
incorporate rules of another SRO by reference has submitted a written
request for an order exempting it from the requirement in Section 19(b)
of the Exchange Act to file proposed rule changes relating to the rules
incorporated by reference, has identified the applicable originating
SRO(s), together with the rules it wants to incorporate by reference,
and otherwise has complied with the procedural requirements set forth
in the Commission's release governing procedures for requesting
exemptive orders pursuant to Rule 0-12 under the Exchange Act; \15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See 17 CFR 240.0-12 and Securities Exchange Act Release No.
39624 (February 5, 1998), 63 FR 8101 (February 18, 1998)
(``Commission Procedures for Filing Applications for Orders for
Exemptive Relief Pursuant to Section 36 of the Exchange Act; Final
Rule'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The incorporating SRO has requested incorporation of
categories of rules (rather than individual rules within a category)
that are not trading rules (e.g., the SRO has requested incorporation
of rules such as margin, suitability, or arbitration); and
     The incorporating SRO has reasonable procedures in place
to provide written notice to its members each time a change is proposed
to the incorporated rules of another SRO.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See BATS Options Market Order, supra note 14 (citing
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 49260 (February 17, 2004), 69 FR
8500 (February 24, 2004) (order granting exemptive request relating
to rules incorporated by reference by several SROs) (``2004
Order'')).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that the Exchange has satisfied each of
these conditions. Further, the Commission also believes that granting
the Exchange an exemption from the rule filing requirements under
Section 19(b) of the Exchange Act will promote efficient use of the
Commission's and the Exchange's resources by avoiding duplicative rule
filings based on simultaneous changes to identical rule text sought by
more than one SRO.\17\ The Commission therefore finds it appropriate in
the public interest and consistent with the protection of investors to
exempt the Exchange from the rule filing requirements under Section
19(b) of the Exchange Act with respect to the above-described rules it
incorporates by reference. This exemption is conditioned upon the
Exchange promptly providing written notice to its applicants and
members whenever Nasdaq changes a rule that the Exchange incorporates
by reference.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ See BATS Options Market Order, supra note 14, 75 FR at
8761; see also 2004 Order, supra note 16, 69 FR at 8502.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Accordingly, it is ordered, pursuant to Section 36 of the Exchange
Act,\18\ that the Exchange is exempt from the rule filing requirements
of Section 19(b) of the Exchange Act solely with respect to changes to
the rules identified in the Exemptive Request, provided that the
Exchange promptly provides written notice to its applicants and members
whenever Nasdaq proposes to change a rule that the Exchange has
incorporated by reference.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an
information collection request (ICR), ``NESHAP for Integrated Iron and
Steel Manufacturing Facilities (40 CFR part 63, subpart FFFFF)
(Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No. 2003.06, OMB Control No. 2060-0517), to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved
through October 31, 2015. Public comments were requested previously via
the Federal Register (80 FR 32116) on June 5, 2015, during a 60-day
comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public
comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given below, including its
estimated burden and cost to the public. An Agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before November 27,
2015.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-
OECA-2011-0271, to: (1) EPA online using www.regulations.gov (our
preferred method), or by email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or by mail to:
EPA Docket Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Mail Code 28221T,
1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460; and (2) OMB via email
to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Address comments to OMB Desk Officer
for EPA.
    EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the
public docket without change including any

personal information provided, unless the comment includes profanity,
threats, information claimed to be Confidential Business Information
(CBI), or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.

number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail
the information that 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, EPA 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: www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: Owners and operators of affected facilities are required
to comply with reporting and recordkeeping requirements for the General
Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A), as well as for the specific
standard (40 CFR part 63, subpart FFFFF). This includes submitting
initial notification reports, performance tests, periodic reports and
results, and maintaining records of the occurrence and duration of any
startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected
facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is
inoperative. These reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with
the standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Integrated iron and steel plants.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart FFFFF).
    Estimated number of respondents: 18 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 18,500 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,930,000 (per year), which includes $67,000
in either annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: The increase in respondent labor burden
from the most-recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment. In this
ICR, we assume all existing respondents will take some time to re-
familiarize with the regulatory requirement. This assumption results in
a small increase in labor hours and costs. The respondent labor costs
also increased due to use of more updated labor rates. The total
estimated cost, including capital and O&M costs, have also been rounded
to three significant figures. The rounding results in a small apparent
decrease in the total O&M cost.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.

Comment Info: =================

General Comment:Dear Mr. Zeller:

I am writing as an individual consumer to request an extension of the comment period for the Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") Proposed Rule Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking and Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the "Proposed Rule") published at 79 Fed. Reg. 23,142 and Federal Register No. 2014-09491. On behalf of myself, I am requesting that the comment period for the Proposed Rule be extended by the FDA for an additional 105 days, from its current 75-day period, to 180 days.

The Proposed Rule raises a number of significant issues and questions that are important and relevant to me, as a consumer of products that are proposed for regulation under the Proposed Rule. The Proposed Rule asks about a hundred different questions I might want to respond to. I want to provide my thoughts and comments on many of these issues, but my time to devote to researching and providing thoughtful comments on these important questions is limited. I have already spent many hours researching and dissecting these issues, but they take time. I know that the FDA took many years to even come up with the Proposed Rule, so I do not think it is at all unreasonable to allow the public a mere six months to comment on it. This is our only opportunity, as consumers, to provide our feedback.

I feel very strongly about e-cigarettes as an alternative to combustible cigarettes. Quite simply, I firmly believe that they saved my life. I wish to provide you with my personal story, as well as science- and evidence-based responses to your questions so that you can take my comment into account. I realize that the FDA has the authority under 21 CFR 10.40 to extend this time frame and that the FDA has exercised this authority on numerous occasions in the past. I would therefore ask that you do so here, so that all stakeholders have the opportunity to provide their comments on this proposed regulation.

The invention and sale of ecig's to the public is why I have be able to stop smoking harmful cigarettes and now only vape.  I think to take this away from people and force big tobacco on people is wrong. You guys are going to become the harbingers of death.

I appreciate your consideration of my request and am happy to discuss this issue with you further.

Thank you,

Aaron

[EPA-R04-OAR-2007-0229-200713(b); FRL-8453-7]

Approval of Implementation Plans of Tennessee: Clean Air
Interstate Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is approving revisions to the Tennessee State
Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted on September 8, 2006. This revision
incorporates provisions related to the implementation of EPA's Clean
Air Interstate Rule (CAIR), promulgated on May 12, 2005, and
subsequently revised on April 28, 2006, and December 13, 2006, and the
CAIR Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) concerning Sulfur Dioxide
(SO2), Nitrogen Oxides (NOX) annual, and NOX
ozone season emissions for the State of Tennessee, promulgated on April
28, 2006, and subsequently revised December 13, 2006. On February 8,
2007, Tennessee requested that EPA only act on a portion of the
September 8, 2006 submittal as an abbreviated SIP. Consequently, EPA is
approving an abbreviated SIP revision that addresses the methodology to
be used to allocate annual and ozone season NOX allowances
under the CAIR FIPs and opt-in provisions for the SO2,
NOX annual, and NOX ozone season trading
programs. EPA is not making any changes to the CAIR FIP, but is
amending, to the extent EPA approves Tennessee's SIP revision, the
appropriate appendices in the CAIR FIP trading rules simply to note
that approval.
    In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, the EPA is
approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior
proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal
and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-66221; File No. SR-NSX-2012-02]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; National Stock Exchange, Inc.;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To
Amend Its Rules To Extend Pilot Program Regarding Clearly Erroneous
Executions

January 24, 2012.
    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 January 11, 2012, National Stock Exchange, Inc. filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule
change as described in Items I and II below, which items have been
prepared by the 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

    National Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NSX[supreg]'' or ``Exchange'') is
proposing to amend its rules to extend a certain pilot program
regarding clearly erroneous executions.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://www.nsx.com, at the principal office of the
Exchange, on the Commission's Web site at http://www.sec.gov, 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 parts of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    With this rule change, the Exchange is proposing to extend the
pilot program currently in effect regarding clearly erroneous
executions under NSX Rule 11.19. Currently, unless otherwise extended
or approved permanently, this pilot program will expire on January 31,
2011. The instant rule filing proposes to extend the pilot program
until July 31, 2012 as defined in Commentary .05 of Rule 11.20.
    NSX Rule 11.19 (Clearly Erroneous Executions) was approved by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the ``Commission'') on September
10, 2010 on a pilot basis to end on December 10, 2010.\3\ The pilot
program end date was subsequently extended until April 11, 2011.\4\
Similar rule changes were adopted by other markets in the national
market system in a coordinated manner. During the pilot period, the
Exchange, in conjunction with the Commission and other markets, has
continued to assess the effectiveness of the pilot program. The pilot
program end date was further extended until August 11, 2011 or the date
on which a limit up/limit down mechanism to address extraordinary
market volatility, if adopted applies.\5\ The pilot program was then
again lengthened until January

31, 2012.\6\ The Exchange, in consultation with the Commission and
other markets, is now proposing that this pilot program be extended
until July 31, 2012. Accordingly, pursuant to the instant rule filing,
the expiration date of the pilot program referenced in the first two
sentences of Rule 11.19 is proposed to be changed from ``January 31,
2012'' to ``July 31, 2012.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 62886 (September 10,
2010), 75 FR 56613 (September 16, 2010) (SR-NSX-2010-07).
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No 63484 (December 9,
2010), 75 FR 78330 (December 15, 2010) (SR-NSX-2010-16).
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 64242 (April 7,
2011), 76 FR 20763 (April 15, 2011) (SR-NSX-2011-05).

2011), 76 FR 50533 (August 15, 2011) (SR-NSX-2011-09).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the provisions of Section 6(b) and Section 11A of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 \7\ (the ``Act''), in general, and Section 6(b)(5)
of the Act,\8\ in particular, in that it is designed, among other
things, to promote clarity, transparency and full disclosure, in so
doing, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments
to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national
market system, and, in general, to maintain fair and orderly markets
and protect investors and the public interest. Moreover, the proposed
rule change is not discriminatory in that it uniformly applies to all
ETP Holders. The Exchange believes that the extension of the pilot
program will promote uniformity among markets with respect to clearly
erroneous executions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b) and 15 U.S.C. 78k-1, respectively.
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any inappropriate burden on competition.

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

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on
the proposed rule change.

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\10\
Because the 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 prior to
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as
the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \11\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \12\ 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) \13\ normally
does not become operative for 30 days after the date of filing.
However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \14\ the Commission may
designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal
may become operative immediately upon filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 pilot program to continue uninterrupted, thereby
avoiding the investor confusion that could result from a temporary
interruption in the pilot program. For this reason, the Commission
designates the proposed rule change as operative upon filing.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also 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.

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
