shall cancel repayment of all or part of a Special Community Disaster

0
6. Add Sec.  206.376 to read as follows:

Sec.  206.376  Loan cancellation.

    (a) FEMA shall cancel repayment of all or part of a Special
Community Disaster Loan to the extent that the Director of the Public
Assistance Division determines that revenues of the local government
during the three-full-fiscal-year period following the disaster are
insufficient, as a result of the disaster, to meet the operating budget
for the local government, including additional unreimbursed disaster-
related expenses of a municipal operating character.
    (b) Definitions. For loan cancellation purposes,
    (1) ``Operating budget'' means actual revenues and expenditures of
the local government as published in the official financial statements
of the local government.
    (2) ``Revenue'' means any source of income from taxes, fees, fines,
and other sources of income, and will be recognized only as they become
susceptible to accrual (measurable and available).
    (3) ``Three-full-fiscal-year period following the disaster'' means
either a 36-month period beginning on September 1, 2005, or the 36
months of the applicant's fiscal year as established before the
disaster, at the applicant's discretion.
    (4) ``Operating expenses'' means those expenses and expenditures
incurred as a result of performing services, including salaries and
benefits, contractual services, and commodities. Capital expenditures
and debt service payments and capital leases are not considered
operating expenses. Under accrual accounting, expenses are recognized
as soon as a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related
cash flows.
    (c) Revenue Calculation procedures. (1) If the tax rates and other
revenues or the tax assessment valuation of property which was not
damaged or destroyed by the disaster are reduced during the three full
fiscal years subsequent to the major disaster, the tax rates and other
revenues and tax assessment valuation factors applicable to such
property in effect at the time of the major disaster shall be used
without reduction for purposes of computing revenues received.
    (2) At the applicant's discretion, the three-full-fiscal-year
period following the disaster is either a 36-month period beginning on
September 1, 2005 or the 36 months of the applicant's fiscal year as
established before the disaster. If the applicant's fiscal year is
changed within the 36 months immediately following the disaster, the
actual period will be modified so that the required financial data
submitted covers an inclusive 36-month period. Should the applicant
elect the 36-month period beginning September 1, 2005, FEMA will
prorate the revenues and expenses for the partial years based on the
applicant's annual financial statements.
    (3) If the local government transfers funds from its operating
funds accounts to its capital funds account, utilizes operating funds
for other than routine maintenance purposes, or significantly increases
expenditures which are not disaster related, except increases due to
inflation, the annual operating budget or operating statement
expenditures will be reduced accordingly for purposes of evaluating any
request for loan cancellation.
    (4) Notwithstanding paragraph (c)(3) of this section, the amount of
property taxes that are transferred to other funds for Debt Service or
Pension Obligations funding will not be excluded from the calculation
of the operating budget or from expenditures in calculation of the
operating deficit, to the extent that the property tax revenues in the
General Fund are less than they were pre-disaster. FEMA will consider
the impact of the loss of property tax revenue in Debt Service or
Pension Funds (non-operating funds) if all of the following conditions
are met:
    (i) The entity experienced a loss of property tax revenue as a
result of the

disaster and the assessed value during the three years following the
disaster, in the aggregate, is less than the pre-disaster assessed
value;
    (ii) the entity has a property tax cap limitation on the ability to
raise property taxes post-disaster; and
    (iii) the property taxes are levied through the General Operating
Fund and transfers for obligations mandated by law are made to fund
Debt Service or Pension Obligations which result in the entity
experiencing a reduction of property tax revenues in the General Fund.
    (5) It is not the purpose of this loan program to underwrite pre-
disaster budget or actual deficits of the local government.
Consequently, such deficits carried forward will reduce any amounts
otherwise eligible for loan cancellation.
    (6) The provisions of this section apply to all Special Community
Disaster loans issued from the dates of enactment of Public Law 109-88
and Public Law 109-234.
    (d) Disaster-related expenses of a municipal operation character.
(1) For purposes of this loan, unreimbursed expenses of a municipal
operating character are those incurred for general government purposes,
including but not limited to police and fire protection, trash
collection, collection of revenues, maintenance of public facilities,
flood and other hazard insurance.
    (2) Disaster-related expenses do not include expenditures
associated with debt service, any major repairs, rebuilding,
replacement or reconstruction of public facilities or other capital
projects, intragovernmental services, special assessments, and trust
and agency fund operations. Disaster expenses which are eligible for
reimbursement under project applications or other Federal programs are
not eligible for loan cancellation.
    (3) Each applicant shall maintain records including documentation
necessary to identify expenditures for unreimbursed disaster-related
expenses. Examples of such expenses include but are not limited to:
    (i) Interest paid on money borrowed to pay amounts FEMA does not
advance toward completion of approved Project Applications.
    (ii) Unreimbursed costs to local governments for providing usable
sites with utilities for mobile homes used to meet disaster temporary
housing requirements.
    (iii) Unreimbursed costs required for police and fire protection
and other community services for mobile home parks established as the
result of or for use following a disaster.
    (iv) The cost to the applicant of flood insurance required under
Public Law 93-234, as amended, and other hazard insurance required
under section 311, Public Law 93-288, as amended, as a condition of
Federal disaster assistance for the disaster under which the loan is
authorized.
    (4) The following expenses are not considered to be disaster-
related for Special Community Disaster Loan purposes:
    (i) The local government's share for assistance provided under the
Stafford Act including flexible funding under section 406(c)(1) of the
Act (42 U.S.C. 5172).
    (ii) Improvements related to the repair or restoration of disaster
public facilities approved on Project Applications.
    (iii) Otherwise eligible costs for which no Federal reimbursement
is requested as a part of the applicant's disaster response commitment,
or cost sharing as specified in the FEMA-State Agreement for the
disaster.
    (iv) Expenses incurred by the local government which are reimbursed
on the applicant's Project Application.
    (e) Cancellation application. A local government which has drawn
loan funds from the U.S. Treasury may request cancellation of the
principal and related interest by submitting an Application for Loan
Cancellation through the Governor's Authorized Representative to the
Regional Administrator prior to the expiration date of the loan.
    (1) Financial information submitted with the application shall
include the following:
    (i) Annual Operating Budgets for the fiscal year of the disaster
and the three subsequent fiscal years;
    (ii) Annual Financial Reports (Revenue and Expense and Balance
Sheet) for each of the above fiscal years. Such financial records must
include copies of the local government's annual financial reports,
including operating statements and balance sheets and related
consolidated and individual presentations for each fund account. In
addition, the local government must include an explanatory statement
when figures in the Application for Loan Cancellation form differ from
those in the supporting financial reports.
    (iii) The following additional information concerning annual real
estate property taxes pertaining to the community for each of the above
fiscal years:
    (A) The market value of the tax base (dollars);
    (B) The assessment ratio (percent);
    (C) The assessed valuation (dollars);
    (D) The tax levy rate (mils);
    (E) Taxes levied and collected (dollars).
    (iv) Audit reports for each of the above fiscal years certifying to
the validity of the Operating Statements. The financial statements of
the local government shall be examined in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards by independent certified public
accountants. The report should not include recommendations concerning
loan cancellation or repayment.
    (v) Other financial information specified in the Application for
Loan Cancellation.
    (2) Narrative justification. The application may include a
narrative presentation to supplement the financial material
accompanying the application and to present any extenuating
circumstances which the local government wants the Director of the
Public Assistance Division to consider in rendering a decision on the
cancellation request.
    (f) Determination. (1) The Director of the Public Assistance
Division will make a cancellation determination within 60 days of the
date the applicant submits all required and requested information,
including documentation in support of un-reimbursed disaster related
expenses.
    (2) If, based on a review of the Application for Loan Cancellation
and FEMA audit, the Director of the Public Assistance Division
determines that all or part of the Special Community Disaster Loan
funds should be canceled, the amount of principal canceled and the
related interest will be forgiven. The Director of the Public
Assistance Division's determination concerning loan cancellation will
specify that any uncancelled principal and related interest must be
repaid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Promissory
Note, and that, if repayment will constitute a financial hardship, the
local government must submit for FEMA review and approval, a repayment
schedule for settling the indebtedness on a timely basis. Such
repayments must be made to the Treasurer of the United States and be
sent to FEMA, Attention: Office of the Chief Financial Officer.
    (3) A loan or cancellation of a loan does not reduce or affect
other disaster-related grants or other disaster assistance. However, no
cancellation may be made that would result in a duplication of benefits
to the applicant.
    (4) The uncancelled portion of the loan must be repaid in
accordance with Sec.  206.377.
    (5) Appeals. If an Application for Loan Cancellation is
disapproved, in

whole or in part, by the Director of the Public Assistance Division,
the local government may submit any additional information in support
of the application within 60 days of the date of disapproval. The
decision by the Assistant Administrator for the Disaster Assistance
Directorate on the additional information is final.

0
7. Amend Sec.  206.377 by revising the first sentence of the
introductory text in paragraph (b), adding a new sentence at the end of
paragraph (b)(2), revising paragraph (b)(4) and revising (c)(2) to read
as follows:

Sec.  206.377  Loan repayment.

* * * * *
    (b) Repayment. To the extent not otherwise cancelled, loan funds
become due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the Promissory Note. * * *
* * * * *
    (2) * * * If any portion of the loan is cancelled, the interest
amount due will be computed on the remaining principal with the
shortest outstanding term.
* * * * *
    (4) The Assistant Administrator for the Disaster Assistance
Directorate may defer payments of principal and interest until FEMA
makes its final determination with respect to any Application for Loan
Cancellation which the borrower may submit. However, interest will
continue to accrue.
* * * * *
    (c) * * *
    (2) The principal amount shall be the original uncancelled

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-55499; File No. SR-Amex-2007-27]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; American Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change,
as Modified by Amendment No. 1 Thereto, Relating to an Amendment to the
Options Marketing Fee

March 21, 2007.
    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 February 28, 2007, the American Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'' 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 substantially prepared by the
Exchange. On March 14, 2007, the Amex submitted Amendment No. 1 to the
proposed rule change. Amex has designated this proposal as one
establishing or changing a due, fee, or other charge imposed by Amex
under Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2)
thereunder,\4\ which renders the proposal effective upon filing with
the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change, as amended, from interested
persons.

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to extend its marketing fee program to
customer orders of 1,000 contracts or greater, which are executed in
open-outcry (i.e., manual executions).
    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange,
the Commission's Public Reference Room, and http://www.amex.com.

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. Amex has substantially 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
    Currently, the options marketing fee is assessed on those
specialists, registered options traders (``ROTs''), remote registered
options traders (``RROTs''), and supplemental registered options
traders (``SROTs'') transactions involving electronically executed
customer orders from firms that accept payment for directing their
orders to the Exchange (``payment accepting firms'') with whom a
specialist or SROT has negotiated a payment for order flow
arrangement.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ For electronically executed customer orders, the fee is
$0.75 per contract on the transactions of specialists, ROTs, RROTs,
and SROTs in equity options (except for SPDR options which will
continue to remain subject to the current fee level of $1.00 per
contract) as well as Nasdaq 100 Index options (NDX) and Russell 2000
Index options (RUT). Likewise, the fee is $0.35 per contract for
those equity, exchange traded fund share and trust issued receipt
options series that quote and trade in one cent increments under the
penny pilot program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange is now proposing to charge specialists and ROTs a fee
of $0.40 per contract on customer orders of 1,000 contracts or greater
executed in open-outcry (i.e., manual executions), that are from
payment accepting firms with whom a specialist has negotiated a payment
for order flow arrangement.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ This fee is not applicable to SROTs and RROTs because their
trades are only executed electronically.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As with electronically executed customer orders, the Exchange has
no role with respect to the negotiations between specialists and
payment accepting firms. The Exchange collects and administers the
payment of the fee, collected on those transactions for which the
specialist has advised the Exchange that it has negotiated with a
payment accepting firm, to pay for the firm's order flow. Included in
this general administrative support, the Exchange tracks the number of
qualified orders sent by a payment accepting firm, bills specialists
and ROTs through their clearing firms and issues payments to payment
accepting firms to reflect the collection and payment of the marketing
fee. The Exchange rebates to specialists and ROTs, on a quarterly
basis, the amount of marketing fees collected that have not been paid
to order flow providers.
    The Exchange notes that strategy trades (i.e., dividend spreads,
merger spreads, short stock interest spreads) executed manually will
not be eligible for payment under this proposal.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Amendment No. 1 clarified in the Exchange's Options Fee
Schedule that the marketing fee does not apply to strategy trades
executed manually.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The specialists are solely responsible, but are not required, to
negotiate payment for order flow agreements with payment accepting
firms and are responsible for any arrangements made with payment
accepting firms. Funds collected on manual orders would only be paid
for the class they are collected, and to the order flow provider they
are collected for. So long as it is within the foregoing parameters,
the specific terms governing the orders that qualify for payment and
the amount of any payments are determined by the specialists in their
discretion.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act \8\ in general, and Section 6(b)(4) of the
Act \9\ in particular, in that it is designed to provide for the
equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among
exchange members and issuers and other persons using exchange
facilities.

MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT:	Summary of Clean Condensate Alternative Technology Review

FROM:	John Bradfield (EPA/OAR/OAQPS/SPPD/NRG)
		Kelley Spence	(EPA/OAR/OAQPS/SPPD/NRG)

TO:		Docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2007-0544

This memorandum summarizes the technology review of the Clean Condensate Alternative (CCA) in pulp mills subject to 40 CFR 63, subpart S analyzed for the Risk and Technology Review (RTR) of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the pulp and paper industry.

Background[1]:

   The clean condensate alternative (CCA) is a pollution prevention alternative emission limit for pulping vents that is available only to kraft HVLC systems (which includes washers, knitters, screens, deckers, and oxygen delignification).  The CCA allows mills to meet the HVLC emission requirements by reducing the HAP emissions elsewhere, usually process water.  This approach allows mills to control HAP emissions by reducing the amount of HAPs that are volatilized from selected process equipment instead of using combustion devices to control HVLC system vent streams. In a classic example, HAP condensates in paper machine process water are removed.  By reducing the HAP concentration in process water, the amounts of volatilized HAPs are also reduced.

   To achieve compliance, the facility must demonstrate that the HAP emission reductions using the CCA technology are equal to or greater than those emission reductions that would have been achieved through compliance with the HVLC system requirements. Mathematically, the mass of emissions required for control on HVLC sources creates a debit.  The sum of the debits must be offset by an equal or greater number of credits achieved by control of the selected alternative emission source. The baseline emission value against which emission credits are measured must be determined after compliance has been achieved with the kraft pulping process condensate standards, and the revised effluent limitations guidelines and standards in 40 CFR 430 subpart BB.

   The CCA allows mills to take credit for emission reductions achieved in several systems through the use of CCA technologies.  The sources from which emission reductions can be debited or credited are limited to the following: pulping systems (HVLC), bleaching systems, causticizing systems, and papermaking systems.  The CCA emission reductions are generated either by control of condensates that are not regulated under the kraft pulping condensate standard or control beyond the levels required by the condensate standard.

Developments in Practices, Processes, and Control Technologies

   The Information Collection Request (ICR)[2] requested that facilities utilizing CCA provide their baseline emissions (debits), their CCA emission reductions (credits) and a process description.  The CCA emission reduction value requested was defined as: HAP emission reductions from baseline.

   Out of 175 survey responses from major sources, 38 facilities responded as CCA facilities. Compliance approaches ranged significantly between the facilities, but included steam strippers, clean washer showers, hard-piping, stand-alone biological treatment, whitewater temperature and HAP content monitoring, and over-collection and over-treatment of condensates, as shown in Table 1. Of the predominant compliance methods, 6 utilized steam stripping, 15 utilized wastewater treatment (1 facility utilizing dredging and 5 utilizing hard-piping), and 5 utilized cleaner water practices on paper machines.

   Using the survey data, EPA compared the baseline HAP reduction required by subpart S with the reductions achieved using the CCA approach.  Baseline control at the 38 CCA mills would have resulted in base emissions of approximately 31 kg HAP per ODTP (oven-dried ton pulp). The nationwide HAP emissions achieved through use of CCA at these 38 mills was approximately 16 kg HAP per ODTP. Thus, the CCA achieved a 50% reduction in HAPs on a kg HAP per ODTP basis beyond what would have been required through HVLC vent gas incineration under subpart S. Based on available production values, the CCA compliance option resulted in approximately 40% lower total emissions on a tons per year basis than compliance with subpart S utilizing HVLC vent gas incineration.

   Due to the broad scope of practices, processes, and controls that were used to generate credits, our technology review did not elucidate any developments or advances in HAP control at CCA sources.

appointment, in person at this same location.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the
request to release a 14.1 acre parcel of airport property at the
Council Bluffs Municipal Airport (CBF) under the provisions of 49
U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). The Council Bluffs Airport Authority requested a
release from the FAA to sell the parcel to Pottawattamie County to
construct a new Roads Department Office and Vehicle Maintenance Shop.
The FAA determined this request to release and sell property at the
Council Bluffs Municipal Airport (CBF) submitted by the Sponsor meets
the procedural requirements of the FAA and the release and sale of the
property does not and will not impact future aviation needs at the
airport. The FAA may approve the request, in whole or in part, no
sooner than thirty days after the publication of this notice.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    The Council Bluffs Municipal Airport (CBF) is proposing the release
and sale of a parcel of airport property containing 14.1 acres. The
release of land is necessary to comply with Federal Aviation
Administration Grant Assurances that do not allow federally acquired
airport property to be used for non-aviation purposes. The sale of the
subject property will result in the land at the Council Bluffs
Municipal Airport (CBF) being changed from aeronautical to non-
aeronautical use and release the lands from the conditions of the
Airport Improvement Program Grant Agreement Grant Assurances in order
to sell the land. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and
(iii), the airport will receive fair market value for the property,
which will be subsequently reinvested in another eligible airport
improvement project for general aviation use.
    Any person may inspect, by appointment, the request in person at
the FAA office listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. In
addition, any person may request an appointment to inspect the
application, notice and other documents determined by the FAA to be
related to the application in person at the Council Bluffs Municipal
Airport.

obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    Motions to intervene, protests and comments may be filed
electronically via the internet in lieu of paper; see, 18 CFR
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's web site
under the ``e-Filing'' link. The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings.
    Comment Date: June 15, 2012.

Secretary.

Markets for Execution

    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 June 29, 2007, the New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'' 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 substantially prepared by the
NYSE. The NYSE has designated this

proposal as one establishing or changing a due, fee, or other charge
imposed by the NYSE under Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act,\3\ and
Rule 19b-4(f)(2) thereunder,\4\ which renders the proposal effective
upon filing with the Commission. 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

    The NYSE proposes to charge its member organizations a fee of
$0.0025 per share in equity transactions and $0.0030 per share in
transactions in exchange traded fund (``ETF'') securities where those
orders are executed in another market on the Exchange's behalf by
Archipelago Securities LLC (``Arca Securities'') as a routing broker.
The text of the proposed rule change is available on the NYSE's Web
site (http://www.nyse.com), at the principal office of the NYSE, 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 NYSE 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 NYSE 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 charge its member organizations a fee of
$0.0025 per share in equity transactions (the ``Equity Routing Fee'')
and $0.0030 per share in ETF transactions (the ``ETF Routing Fee,''
and, together with the Equity Routing Fee, the ``Routing Fees'') where
those orders are executed in another market on the Exchange's behalf by
Arca Securities as a routing broker.
    The Exchange proposes to set the Routing Fees at the same level as
linkage order fees (``Linkage Order Fees'') that the Exchange has been
charging for transactions routed away to other markets pursuant to the
``Plan for the Purpose of Creating and Operating an Intermarket
Communications Linkage'' (the ``Linkage Plan''). The Linkage Plan
expired by its terms on June 30, 2007, and the Exchange will now route
all orders it is required to send to other markets by utilizing Arca
Securities as a routing broker. This filing clarifies that, once the
Linkage Plan is no longer in effect, Entering Firms will continue to be
charged a Routing Fee in the same amount as the predecessor Linkage
Order Fee for orders routed to other markets. Arca Securities will be
billed by the destination markets for orders entered on the Exchange by
Entering Firms but routed to other markets for execution. The Exchange
will assume responsibility for fees paid by Arca Securities to other
markets in its capacity as the Exchange's Routing Broker. The Exchange
proposes to bill each Entering Firm the applicable Routing Fee in order
to recover these expenses.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the objectives of Section 6 \5\ of the Act \6\ in general and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) \7\ in particular, in that
it is designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable
dues, fees and other charges among its members and other persons using
its facilities. The fee is intended to permit the Exchange to recover
fees billed to Arca Securities by other markets for orders executed in
other markets.

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

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 purpose of the Act.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) \9\ thereunder because
it involves a member fee imposed by the Exchange. At any time within 60
days of the filing of such proposed rule change, the Commission may
summarily abrogate such rule change if it appears to the Commission
that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest,
for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act.
