SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-59569; File No. SR-FICC-2009-03]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Fixed Income Clearing
Corporation; Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule To Impose a Charge on
Members With a Fail-to-Deliver in Treasury Securities

March 12, 2009.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ notice is hereby given that on February 25, 2009, The
Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (``FICC'') filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') proposed rule change No. SR-
FICC-2009-03, which is described in Items I, II, and III below and have
been prepared primarily by the FICC. The Commission is publishing this
notice to solicit comments from interested parties on the proposed rule
change as.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The proposed rule change will impose a charge on members with a
fail-to-deliver position in treasury securities.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The exact text of the FICC's proposed rule change can be
found in Attachment 1 of this filing or at http://www.dtcc.com/
downloads/legal/rule_filings/2009/ficc/2009-03.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    In its filing with the Commission, FICC 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. FICC has prepared summaries, set forth in sections (A),
(B), and (C) below, of the most significant aspects of these
statements.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Commission has modified portions of the text of the
summaries prepared by the FICC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

1. Purpose
    The Treasury Markets Practices Group (``TMPG''), a group of market
participants active in the treasury securities market that is sponsored
by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the ``FRBNY''), has been in
the process of devising ways to address the persistent settlement fails
in treasury securities transactions that have arisen, according to the
TMPG, due to the recent market turbulence and low short-term interest
rates. In order to encourage market participants to resolve fails
promptly, the TMPG has proposed for adoption a ``best practice'' that
would call for the market-wide assessment of a charge on fail-to-
deliver positions. As part of this implementation of this ``best
practice,'' the TMPG has asked the Government Securities Division of
FICC (``GSD'') to impose this charge on failed positions involving
treasury securities within FICC.

    The proposed charge will be equal to the product of net money due
on the failed position and three (3) percent per annum minus the Target
Fed funds target rate that is effective at 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time
on the business day prior to the originally scheduled settlement date
and will be capped at three (3) percent per annum. The charge will be
applied daily and will be a debit on the member's GSD monthly bill for
a fail-to-deliver position and a credit on the member's GSD monthly
bill for those with fail-to-receive position.
    The following example illustrates the manner in which the proposed
fails charge would apply:
    Member A fails to deliver today on a $50 million position on which
he is owed $50.1 million. The Target Fed funds rate yesterday at 5 p.m.
was one (1) percent. The fails charge will be two (2) percent per annum
and will be applied to the funds amount of $50.1 million, thus equaling
a charge of $2,783.33 for that day. The bill of the member failing to
deliver will reflect a debit of $2,783.33.
    In the event that FICC is the failing party because, for example,
it received securities too close to the close of the Fedwire for
redelivery, the fail charge will be distributed pro rata to the netting
members based upon usage of the GSD's services, which is the same
methodology that is used when FICC incurs finance charges.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ FICC Rules, Section 6 of Rule 12.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change provides that the Credit and Market Risk
Management Committee of FICC's Board of Directors will retain the right
to revoke application of the charge if industry events or practices
warrant such revocation.
2. Statutory Basis
    FICC believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
requirements of Section 17A of the Act, as amended,\5\ and the rules
and regulations thereunder because the proposed rule change will
promote the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of securities
transactions by discouraging persistent fails-to-deliver in treasury
securities and thereby not adversely affecting the safeguarding of
securities or funds in FICC's control or for which it is responsible.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(B) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    FICC does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

    FICC has neither solicited nor received written comments on the
proposed rule change. FICC will notify the Commission of any written
comments received by FICC.

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

    Within thirty-five days of the date of publication of this notice
in the Federal Register or within such longer period: (i) As the
Commission may designate up to ninety days of such date if it finds
such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so
finding or (ii) as to which the self-regulatory organization consents,
the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve such proposed rule change or
    (B) Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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

``The Honorable Collin O'Mara
Secretary
Delaware Department of Natural
Resources and Environmental Control
89 Kings Highway
Dover, Delaware 19901

    Dear Secretary O'Mara:
    In response to your delegation request, dated July 8, 2010, the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III (EPA) hereby grants to
the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control
(DNREC) formal delegation of the following sections of the Outer
Continental Shelf (OCS) Regulation in the Code of Federal Regulations,
Title 40, Part 55 (40 CFR part 55), as it exists on July 9, 2009:
     55.1--Statutory authority and scope.
     55.2--Definitions.
     55.3--Applicability.
     55.4--Requirements to submit a notice of intent.
     55.6--Permit requirements.
     55.7--Exemptions.

     Appendix A to 40 CFR part 55--Listing of State and Local
Requirements Incorporated by Reference Into Part 55, by State.
    As stated in 40 CFR part 55.11(b), the Administrator will delegate
implementation and enforcement authority to a State if the State has an
adjacent OCS source and the Administrator determines that the State's
regulations are adequate, including a demonstration by the State that
the State has:
    (1) Adopted the appropriate portions of part 55 into State law;
    (2) Adequate authority under State law to implement and enforce the

requirements of this part, including public notice and comment
procedures.
    EPA reviewed DNREC's July 8, 2010 request and concludes that it
meets all of the requirements of 40 CFR Part 55.11(b). Therefore, DNREC
is authorized to implement, enforce, and administer the parts of 40 CFR
part 55 listed above for OCS sources in which Delaware is the
corresponding onshore area.
    I appreciate DNREC's efforts to implement the OCS regulations and
look forward to working with you to foster the growth of alternative
energy projects in Delaware. If you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to contact me or have your staff contact Ms. Amie Howell,
EPA's Delaware Liaison, at<PHONE_NUMBER>.
 Sincerely,
Shawn M. Garvin

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2007-28688; Directorate Identifier 2005-SW-21-AD;
Amendment 39-15312; AD 2007-26-10]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Bell Helicopter Textron Canada Model
430 Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
Bell Helicopter Textron Canada (BHTC) Model 430 helicopters that
requires replacing a certain servo actuator-to-actuator support
attachment bolt (bolt) with an airworthy bolt. This action also
requires establishing a retirement life for certain bolts and recording
the retirement life on a component history card or equivalent record.
This amendment is prompted by further evaluation of certain fatigue-
critical parts, resulting in establishing a life limit of 5,000 hours
for the affected bolts. The actions specified by this AD are intended
to prevent fatigue failure of the bolt and subsequent loss of control
of the helicopter.

DATES: Effective February 6, 2008.

ADDRESSES: You may get the service information identified in this AD
from Bell Helicopter Textron Canada, 12,800 Rue de l'Avenir, Mirabel,
Quebec J7J1R4, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER> or<PHONE_NUMBER>, fax (450)
433-0272.
    Examining the Docket: You may examine the docket that contains this
AD, any comments, and other information on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov
 or at the Docket Operations office, West Building

Ground Floor, Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington,
DC.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sharon Miles, Aviation Safety
Engineer, FAA, Rotorcraft Directorate, Regulations and Guidance Group,
Fort Worth, Texas 76193-0111, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, fax (817) 222-
5961.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A proposal to amend 14 CFR part 39 to
include an AD for the specified model helicopters was published in the
Federal Register on July 16, 2007 (72 FR 38797). That action proposed
to require replacing a certain bolt with an airworthy bolt. That action
also proposed establishing a retirement life for certain bolts and
recording the retirement life on a component history card or equivalent
record.
    Transport Canada, the airworthiness authority for Canada, notified
the FAA that an unsafe condition may exist on BHTC Model 430
helicopters, serial numbers 49001 through 49106. Transport Canada
advises of the need to establish a new airworthiness life limitation of
5,000 hours for the three servo actuator support attachment bolts and
to replace the three affected bolts.
    Bell Helicopter Textron has issued Alert Service Bulletin No. 430-
05-33, dated February 16, 2005 (ASB). The ASB introduces a retirement
life of 5,000 hours for the bolts. The ASB states

that since these bolts have not been listed in the Helicopter Component
Replace record, it is difficult to determine with accuracy the actual
number of hours accumulated on fielded bolts. Also, the ASB states that
Bell has elected to replace all the fielded bolts, part number (P/N)
50-047C8-31. Transport Canada classified this ASB as mandatory and
issued AD No. CF-2005-09, dated April 14, 2005, to ensure the continued
airworthiness of these helicopters in Canada.
    This helicopter model is manufactured in Canada and is type
certificated for operation in the United States under the provisions of
14 CFR 21.29 and the applicable bilateral agreement. Pursuant to the
applicable bilateral agreement, Transport Canada has kept us informed
of the situation described above. We have examined the findings of
Transport Canada, reviewed all available information, and determined
that AD action is necessary for products of this type design that are
certificated for operation in the United States.
    Interested persons have been afforded an opportunity to participate
in the making of this amendment. No comments were received on the
proposal or the FAA's determination of the cost to the public. The FAA
has determined that air safety and the public interest require the
adoption of the rule as proposed with two changes. We corrected a
paragraph under the ADDRESSES section in the preamble to reflect the
correct address for getting the service information. Also, we added a
Note to the AD stating that there is service information that pertains
to the subject of the AD. We have determined that these changes will
neither increase the economic burden on any operator nor increase the
scope of the AD.
    We estimate that this AD will affect 54 helicopters of U.S.
registry, and the required actions will take about 2 work hours per
helicopter to replace 3 bolts at an average labor rate of $80 per work
hour. Required parts will cost about $243 for each bolt. Based on these
figures, we estimate the total cost impact of the AD on U.S. operators
to be $ $48,006, assuming that the recordkeeping cost would be
negligible.

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between
the national Government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that the regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this AD. See the AD docket to examine the economic evaluation.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, Section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Rule 11a-3, SEC File No. 270-321, OMB Control No. 3235-0358.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the ``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget for extension and approval.
    Section 11(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (``Act'') (15
U.S.C. 80a-11(a)) provides that it is unlawful for a registered open-
end investment company (``fund'') or its underwriter to make an offer
to the fund's shareholders or the shareholders of any other fund to
exchange the fund's securities for securities of the same or another
fund on any basis other than the relative net asset values (``NAVs'')
of the respective securities to be exchanged, ``unless the terms of the
offer have first been submitted to and approved by the Commission or
are in accordance with such rules and regulations as the Commission may
have prescribed in respect of such offers.'' Section 11(a) was designed
to prevent ``switching,'' the practice of inducing shareholders of one
fund to exchange their shares for the shares of another fund for the
purpose of exacting additional sales charges.
    Rule 11a-3 (17 CFR 270.11a-3) under the Act is an exemptive rule
that permits open-end investment companies (``funds''), other than
insurance company separate accounts, and funds' principal underwriters,
to make certain exchange offers to fund shareholders and shareholders
of other funds in the same group of investment companies. The rule
requires a fund, among other things, (i) to disclose in its prospectus
and advertising literature the amount of any administrative or
redemption fee imposed on an exchange transaction, (ii) if the fund
imposes an administrative fee on exchange transactions, other than a
nominal one, to maintain and preserve records with respect to the
actual costs incurred in connection with exchanges for at least six
years, and (iii) give the fund's shareholders a sixty day notice of a
termination of an exchange offer or any material amendment to the terms
of an exchange offer (unless the only material effect of an amendment
is to reduce or eliminate an administrative fee, sales load or
redemption fee payable at the time of an exchange).
    The rule's requirements are designed to protect investors against
abuses associated with exchange offers, provide fund shareholders with
information necessary to evaluate exchange offers and certain material
changes in the terms of exchange offers, and enable the Commission
staff to monitor funds' use of administrative fees charged in
connection with exchange transactions.
    The staff estimates that there are approximately 1790 active open-
end investment companies registered with the Commission as of June
2011. The staff estimates that 25 percent (or 448) of these funds
impose a non-nominal administrative fee on exchange transactions. The
staff estimates that the recordkeeping requirement of the rule requires
approximately 1 hour annually of clerical time per fund, for a total of
448 hours for all funds.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ This estimate is based on the following calculations: (1790
funds x 0.25% = 448 funds); (448 x 1 (clerical hour) = 448 clerical
hours).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The staff estimates that 5 percent of these 1790 funds (or 90)
terminate an exchange offer or make a material change to the terms of
their exchange offer each year, requiring the fund to comply with the
notice requirement of the rule. The staff estimates that complying with
the notice requirement of the rule requires approximately 1 hour of
attorney time and 2 hours of clerical time per fund, for a total of
approximately 270 hours for all funds to comply with the notice
requirement.\2\ The recordkeeping and notice requirements together
therefore impose a total burden of 718 hours on all funds.\3\ The total
number of respondents is 538, each responding once a year.\4\ The
burdens associated with the disclosure requirement of the rule are
accounted for in the burdens associated with the Form N-1A registration
statement for funds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ This estimate is based on the following calculations: (1790
(funds) x 0.05% = 90 funds); (90 x 1 (attorney hour) = 90 total
attorney hours); (90 (funds) x 2 (clerical hours) = 180 total
clerical hours); (90 (attorney hours) + 180 (clerical hours) = 270
total hours).
    \3\ This estimate is based on the following calculations: (270
(notice hours) + 448 (recordkeeping hours) = 718 total hours).
    \4\ This estimate is based on the following calculation: (448
funds responding to recordkeeping requirement + 90 funds responding
to notice requirement = 538 total respondents).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The estimate of average burden hours is made solely for the
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, and is not derived from a
comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the costs of
Commission rules and forms. 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 control number.
    Written comments are requested on: (a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Commission, including whether the information has practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's estimate of the burden(s)
of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology. Consideration will be given to
comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60 days of this
publication.
    Please direct your written comments to Thomas Bayer, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi
Pavlik-Simon, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312; or send an
e-mail to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>.

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30728; Amdt. No. 3377]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports.
These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or
revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National
Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective June 9, 2010. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of June 9, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:
    For Examination--
    1. FAA Rules Docket, FAA Headquarters Building, 800 Independence
Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591;
    2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which the affected
airport is located;
    3. The National Flight Procedures Office, 6500 South MacArthur
Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169; or
    4. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For

information on the availability of this material at NARA, call 202-741-
6030, or go to: http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/code_of_
federal_regulations/ibr_locations.html.
    Availability_All SIAPs are available online free of charge. Visit
nfdc.faa.gov to register. Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP copies may be obtained from:
    1. FAA Public Inquiry Center (APA-200), FAA Headquarters Building,
800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591; or
    2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which the affected
airport is located.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Harry J. Hodges, Flight Procedure
Standards Branch (AFS-420) Flight Technologies and Programs Division,
Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration, Mike
Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma
City, OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125)
telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97) by amending the referenced SIAPs.
The complete regulatory description of each SIAP is listed on the
appropriate FAA Form 8260, as modified by the National Flight Data
Center (FDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen (P-NOTAM), and is incorporated
by reference in the amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and
Sec.  97.20 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
    The large number of SIAPs, their complex nature, and the need for a
special format make their verbatim publication in the Federal Register
expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use the regulatory
text of the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic depiction on charts
printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages
of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the
complete description of each SIAP contained in FAA form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the types of SIAP and the corresponding effective dates. This
amendment also identifies the airport and its location, the procedure
and the amendment number.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP as amended in the transmittal. For safety and
timeliness of change considerations, this amendment incorporates only
specific changes contained for each SIAP as modified by FDC/P-NOTAMs.
    The SIAPs, as modified by FDC P-NOTAM, and contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these changes to
SIAPs, the TERPS criteria were applied only to specific conditions
existing at the affected airports. All SIAP amendments in this rule
have been previously issued by the FAA in a FDC NOTAM as an emergency
action of immediate flight safety relating directly to published
aeronautical charts. The circumstances which created the need for all
these SIAP amendments requires making them effective in less than 30
days.
    Because of the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs
and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and public procedure
before adopting these SIAPs are impracticable and contrary to the
public interest and, where applicable, that good cause exists for
making these SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.

Conclusion

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-93627; File No. SR-IEX-2021-16]

Self-Regulatory Organizations: Investors Exchange LLC; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Modify
the Definition of a Retail Order for the Retail Price Improvement
Program

November 19, 2021.
    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 November 12, 2021, the Investors Exchange LLC (``IEX'' or the
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``SEC'' or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I and II, 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.

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

    Pursuant to the provisions of Section 19(b)(1) under the Act,\3\
and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\4\ the Exchange is filing with the
Commission a proposed rule change to modify the definition of a Retail
order set forth in IEX Rule 11.190(b)(15) to encourage the submission
of more Retail orders. The Exchange has designated this rule change as
``non-controversial'' under Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \5\ and
provided the Commission with the notice required by Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder.\6\

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 statement 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
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to modify the definition of a Retail order
\7\ set forth in IEX Rule 11.190(b)(15) for the benefit of retail
investors. Specifically, IEX is proposing to revert a recent change to
IEX Rule 11.190(b)(15), so that Retail orders can once again be
submitted on behalf of all retail customers without the requirements
that the retail customer submits no more than 390 orders per day on
average (the ``390-order threshold''). The Exchange proposes to make
this change to offer the benefits of IEX's Retail Price Improvement
Program (``Retail Program'') to as many retail investors as possible.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See IEX Rule 11.190(b)(15).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background
    In 2019 the Commission approved the Retail Program,\8\ which is
designed to provide retail investors with meaningful price improvement
opportunities through trading at the Midpoint Price \9\ or better.\10\
The Exchange launched the Retail Program on October 1, 2019.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 86619 (August 9,
2019), 84 FR 41769 (August 15, 2019) (SR-IEX-2019-05) (SEC order
approving IEX's Retail Program).
    \9\ The term ``Midpoint Price'' means the midpoint of the NBBO.
See IEX Rule 1.160(t). The term ``NBBO'' means the national best bid
or offer, as set forth in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS under the
Act, determined as set forth in IEX Rule 11.410(b).
    \10\ On March 1, 2021, IEX filed an immediately effective rule
change proposal to provide that, in addition to executing at the
Midpoint Price, a Retail order can execute against a displayed
unprotected odd lot order that is resting on the Order Book at a
price more aggressive than the Midpoint Price (i.e., above the
Midpoint Price in the case of an odd lot buy order and below the
Midpoint Price in the case of an odd lot sell order). Executing
against such an odd lot order thus provides more price improvement
to the Retail order than executing at the Midpoint Price. See
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 91324 (March 15, 2021), 86 FR
15015 (March 19, 2021) (SR-IEX-2021-03).
    \11\ See Trading Alert #2019-026, available at https://iextrading.com/alerts/#/82.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under IEX's Retail Program, Members \12\ that qualify as Retail
Member Organizations (``RMOs'') \13\ are eligible to submit Retail
orders \14\ to the Exchange. Any Member is able to provide price
improvement to Retail orders through orders priced to execute at the
Midpoint Price or better, including Retail Liquidity Provider (``RLP'')
orders \15\ that are only eligible to execute against a Retail order at
the Midpoint Price and execute in price-time priority with other orders
resting on the Order Book priced to trade at the Midpoint Price.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See IEX Rule 1.160(s).
    \13\ See IEX Rule 11.232(a)(1).
    \14\ A Retail order is currently defined as an order submitted
by an RMO and designated with a ``Retail order'' modifier. A Retail
order must be an agency order, or riskless principal order that
satisfies the criteria of FINRA Rule 5320.03, and must reflect
trading interest of a natural person with no change made to the
terms of the underlying order of the natural person with respect to
price (except in the case of a market order that is changed to a
marketable limit order) or side of market and that does not
originate from a trading algorithm or any other computerized
methodology (a ``retail customer''). An order from a retail customer
can include orders submitted on behalf of accounts that are held in
a corporate legal form that have been established for the benefit of
an individual or group of related family members, provided that the
order is submitted by an individual. A Retail order may only be
submitted on behalf of a retail customer that does not place more
than 390 equity orders per day on average during a calendar month
for its own beneficial account(s). See IEX Rule 11.190(b)(15).
    \15\ See IEX Rule 11.190(b)(14).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On July 13, 2021, the Commission approved an IEX rule change
proposal that revised its Retail Program (the ``Retail Program Update
Filing'').\16\ The Retail Program Update Filing was designed to further
support and enhance the ability of non-professional retail investors to
obtain meaningful price improvement by incentivizing market
participants to compete to provide such price improvement.\17\
Specifically, the

Retail Program Update Filing contained the following four enhancements
to the Retail Program: (i) Revised the definition of Retail order in
IEX Rule 11.190(b)(15) to apply only to the trading interest of a
natural person that does not place more than 390 equity orders per day
on average during a calendar month for its own beneficial account(s);
(ii) modified RLP orders from Discretionary Peg \18\ to midpoint peg
\19\ orders; (iii) modified RLP order priority so that they execute in
time priority with other orders priced to trade at the Midpoint Price;
and (iv) introduced a ``Retail Liquidity Identifier'' that is
disseminated through the Exchange's proprietary market data feeds and
the appropriate securities information processor when RLP order
interest aggregated to form at least one round lot for a particular
security is available in the System,\20\ provided that the RLP order
interest is resting at the Midpoint Price and is priced at least $0.001
better than the NBB \21\ or NBO.\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 92398 (July 13,
2021), 86 FR 38166 (July 19, 2021) (approving SR-IEX-2021-06).
    \17\ See supra note 17.
    \18\ See IEX Rule 11.190(b)(10).
    \19\ See IEX Rule 11.190(b)(9).
    \20\ See IEX Rule 1.160(nn).
    \21\ See IEX Rule 1.160(u).
    \22\ See IEX Rule 1.160(u).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    IEX implemented the Retail Program Update Filing on October 13,
2021.\23\ Subsequently, and notwithstanding prior informal feedback
from Members and market participants, IEX became aware that several
existing and potential RMOs have not implemented a counting methodology
to determine the number of equities orders submitted by each of their
retail customers, as well as by the customers of broker-dealers that
route Retail orders through the RMO. As a result, such RMOs cannot
submit Retail orders to IEX because they are unable to reasonably
assure that such orders would be in compliance with the recent changes
to IEX Rule 11.190(b)(15) which specifies that Retail orders may only
be submitted on behalf of a natural person who submits no more than 390
equity orders per day on average during a calendar month for its own
beneficial account(s). Thus, while the 390-order threshold was intended
to limit the use of Retail orders to retail investors who do not appear
to be engaged in trading activity akin to that of a professional, it
has had the unintended consequence of limiting the number of actual
retail customers who are able to obtain the beneficial execution
opportunities offered by the Exchange's Retail Program. As discussed
more fully below, no other equities exchanges restrict retail orders in
the same manner as IEX, and IEX believes that this factor may impact
the willingness of Members representing retail orders to devote
technology resources to implementing a counting methodology.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ See Trading Alert # 2021-036, available at https://iextrading.com/alerts/#/169.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Accordingly, IEX proposes to revert the recent changes to the
definition of a Retail order that limits Retail orders to customers who
place no more than 390 equity orders per day on average during a
calendar month for their own beneficial account(s). Thus, IEX proposes
to delete the last sentence in IEX Rule 11.190(b)(15) which imposes the
390-order threshold, as well as Supplementary Materials .01 and .02
appended thereto that specify how RMOs should count orders for purposes
of determining if a retail customer has placed no more than 390 orders
per day and establish new compliance requirements for the RMOs with
respect to the 390-order threshold.
    IEX notes that no other exchange with a retail price improvement
program restricts retail orders based upon the volume of trading of the
retail customer, and that the proposed changes to IEX Rule
11.190(b)(15) will make it substantially similar to those exchanges'
definitions of a retail order.\24\ As noted in the Retail Program
Update Filing, the 390-order threshold is also used by Cboe EDGX
Exchange, Inc. (``EDGX'') with respect to its equity market, but EDGX
only uses the 390-order threshold to delineate retail priority orders
that receive execution priority over most other orders resting on its
order book.\25\ EDGX continues to allow its RMOs to submit regular
priority retail orders for retail customers without any assurance that
the retail customer submits no more than 390 orders per day on
average.\26\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ See Cboe BYX Exchange, Inc. (``Cboe BYX'') Rule
11.24(a)(2); Nasdaq BX, Inc. (``Nasdaq BX'') Rule 4702(b)(6)(A); New
York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'') Rule 7.44(a)(3); NYSE Arca, Inc.
(``NYSE Arca'') Rule 7.44-E(a)(3).
    \25\ See EDGX Rule 11.9 Interpretations and Policies .01 and
.02. EDGX does not have a retail price improvement program, but does
offer both retail orders and retail priority orders.
    \26\ See EDGX Rule 11.21(a)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Furthermore, IEX notes that nothing in this proposed rule change
will modify the pre-existing compliance obligations of RMOs to assure
they are only submitting Retail orders on behalf of actual retail
customers.\27\ IEX believes these ongoing compliance obligations of
RMOs will continue to assure that they only submit Retail orders to the
Exchange that represent the trading interest of natural persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \27\ See IEX Rule 11.232(b)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the
Act,\28\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5),\29\ in particular, in that it is designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination
with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, and to
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market and a national market system, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \28\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \29\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission has consistently emphasized that the U.S. capital
markets should be structured with the interests of retail investors in
mind \30\ and the proposed change to the Retail Program is explicitly
designed with that goal in mind. Specifically, reversing the recent
change to the definition of Retail orders at IEX is designed to benefit
retail investors by providing enhanced opportunities for as many retail
investors as possible to obtain meaningful price improvement. IEX
believes that encouraging the submission of more Retail orders to the
Exchange should attract increased contra-side liquidity seeking to
trade against and provide meaningful price improvement to such Retail
orders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \30\ See U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Strategic
Plan, Fiscal Years 2018-2022, available at https://www.sec.gov/files/SEC_Strategic_Plan_FY18-FY22_FINAL_0.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change
is consistent with the protection of investors because, as described in
the Purpose section, it will align its definition of Retail orders with
that of all other exchanges that offer a retail price improvement
program, thereby reducing potential confusion to market participants
and increasing the ability of all market participants to participate in
IEX's Retail Program as well as those of its competitors.
    The Exchange also believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with the protection of investors because it is designed to
increase competition among execution venues by enhancing IEX's Retail
Program which offers the potential for meaningful price improvement to
orders of retail investors, including through incentivizing market
participants to provide additional liquidity to execute against the
orders of retail investors.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose

any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. To the contrary, IEX believes
that the proposed enhancements to our Retail Program would continue to
enhance competition and execution quality for retail customers.
    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on intermarket competition since competing venues
have and can continue to adopt similar retail programs, subject to the
SEC rule change process. The Exchange operates in a highly competitive
market in which market participants can easily direct their orders to
competing venues, including off-exchange venues.
    The Exchange also does not believe that the proposed rule change
will impose any burden on intramarket competition that is not necessary
or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. While orders
submitted by RMOs will be treated differently than orders submitted by
other Members, as described in the Purpose section, those differences
are not based on the type of Member entering orders but on whether the
order is for a retail customer, and there is no restriction on whether
a Member can handle retail customer orders. Further, any Member can
enter an RLP order.

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 Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \31\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\32\
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 for 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 \33\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\34\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \31\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \32\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \33\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \34\ 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) \35\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\36\ 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 proposed
rule change may become operative immediately. As explained above, the
Exchange believes that this proposal will allow a greater pool of
retail investors that were once able to participate in IEX's Retail
Program to again obtain the price improvement benefits thereunder. IEX
also states that allowing RMOs to begin submitting a greater pool of
Retail orders upon effectiveness of this rule change will benefit
retail investors who may be able to obtain meaningful price improvement
opportunities through IEX's Retail program. The Commission believes
that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest because the change is
intended to offer immediate benefit to retail investors by expanding
the pool of RMOs eligible to partake in IEX's Retail Program and thus,
allow additional retail orders to benefit from price improvement
opportunities. Further, by reverting to the previously-approved
definition of Retail order, the proposal does not raise any new or
novel issues. For these reasons, the Commission hereby waives the 30-
day operative delay and designates the proposal operative upon
filing.\37\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \35\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \36\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \37\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.
