SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
COTP Captain of the Port Detroit
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because doing so would be impracticable. The
Coast Guard did not receive the final details of this fireworks display
in time to publish an NPRM. As such, it is impracticable to publish an
NPRM because we lack sufficient time to provide a reasonable comment
period and then consider those comments before issuing the rule.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231. The Captain of the Port Detroit (COTP) has determined that
potential hazard associated with fireworks from 10 p.m. on June 30,
2018 through 11 p.m. on July 1, 2018 will be a safety concern to anyone
within a 560-foot radius of the launch site. This rule is needed to
protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable
waters within the safety zone while the fireworks are being displayed.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone from 10 p.m. on June 30, 2018
through 11 p.m. on July 1, 2018. The safety zone will encompass all
U.S. navigable

waters of Lake St. Clair, Grosse Pointe Farms, MI, within a 560-foot
radius of position 42[deg]23.50' N, 082[deg]53.15' W (NAD 83). The
safety zone will be enforced from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. on June 30, 2018.
In the case of inclement weather on June 30, 2018, this safety zone
will be enforced from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. on July 1, 2018. No vessel or
person will be permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining
permission from the COTP or a designated representative.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This rule has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration, and time-of-year of the safety zone. Vessel traffic
will be able to safely transit around this safety zone which will
impact a small designated area of Lake St. Clair from 10 p.m. on June
30, 2018 through 11 p.m. on July 1, 2018. Moreover, the Coast Guard
will issue Broadcast Notice to Mariners (BNM) via VHF-FM marine channel
16 about the zone and the rule allows vessels to seek permission to
enter the zone.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section above.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.1D, which guide the
Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that this action is
one of a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively
have a significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves
a safety zone that will be enforced for one hour and will prohibit
entry into a designated area. It is categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction
Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 01. A Record of Environmental Consideration
supporting this determination is available in the docket where
indicated under ADDRESSES.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

all directions given to them by the COTP or his on-scene
representative.

Proposed Consent Decree, Clean Air Act Citizen Suit

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed consent decree; request for public comment.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Clean Air Act, as amended (CAA or the
Act), notice is given of a proposed consent decree in Texas
Environmental Justice Advocacy Services, et al. v. Regan, No. 1:20-cv-
03733-RJL. On December 18, 2020, Plaintiffs Texas Environmental Justice
Advocacy Services, California Communities Against Toxics, Environmental
Integrity Project, Louisiana Environmental Action Network, Ohio Valley
Environmental Council, RISE St. James, and Sierra Club (collectively
``Plaintiffs'') filed a complaint in the United States District Court
for the District of Columbia. Plaintiffs alleged that the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) failed to perform certain non-
discretionary duties in accordance with the Act to ``review and, if
appropriate, revise'' the New Source Performance Standards (``NSPS'')
or to promulgate a determination that revision ``is not appropriate in
light of readily available information on the efficacy of such
standard[s]'' for four categories of synthetic organic chemical
manufacturing industry (``SOCMI'') stationary sources, and to ``review,
and revise as necessary'' the National Emission Standards for Hazardous
Air Pollutants (``NESHAP'') for SOCMI source categories regulated under
the Hazardous Organic NESHAP Rule (``HON'') at least every 8 years. The
proposed consent decree would establish deadlines for EPA to take
actions.

DATES: Written comments on the proposed consent decree must be received
by January 6, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OGC-2021-0850, online at https://www.regulations.gov (EPA's preferred
method). Follow the online instructions for submitting comments.
    Instructions: All submissions received must include the Docket ID
number for this action. Comments received may be posted without change
to https://www.regulations.gov/, including any personal information
provided. For detailed instructions on sending comments and additional
information on the rulemaking process, see the ``Additional Information
about Commenting on the Proposed Consent Decree'' heading under the

II. Additional Information About the Proposed Consent Decree

    The proposed consent decree would establish deadlines for EPA to
take proposed and final actions pursuant to CAA sections 111(b)(1) and
112(d)(6) for the NSPS for SOCMI under 40 CFR part 60, subparts III,
NNN, RRR, and VVa and for the SOCMI source categories regulated under
the HON Rule, 40 CFR part 63, subparts F, G, H, and I. The consent
decree would require by December 16, 2022, that EPA review the NSPS
under section 111(b)(1)(B) and sign either: (A) A proposed rule
containing revisions to the NSPS; or (B) a proposed determination not
to revise the NSPS, and then that EPA take final action by March 29,
2024. In addition, it would require by December 16, 2022, that EPA sign
for publication a proposed rule containing all ``necessary'' revisions
(taking into account developments in practices, processes, and control
technologies) to subparts F, G, H, and I under section 112(d)(6) of the
Act, 42 U.S.C. 7412(d)(6), and then that EPA take final action by March
29, 2024.
    In accordance with section 113(g) of the CAA, for a period of
thirty (30) days following the date of publication of this document,
the Agency will accept written comments relating to the proposed
consent decree. EPA or the Department of Justice may withdraw or
withhold consent to the proposed consent decree if the comments
disclose facts or considerations that indicate that such consent is
inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with the
requirements of the Act.

III. Additional Information About Commenting on the Proposed Consent
Decree

    Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OGC-2021-
0850, via https://www.regulations.gov. Once submitted, comments cannot
be edited or removed from this docket. EPA may publish any comment
received to its public docket. Do not submit to EPA's docket at https://www.regulations.gov any information you consider to be Confidential
Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must
be accompanied by a written comment. The written comment is considered
the official comment and should include discussion of all points you
wish to make. EPA will generally not consider comments or comment
contents located outside of the primary submission (i.e. on the web,
cloud, or other file sharing system). For additional submission
methods, the full EPA public comment policy, information about CBI or
multimedia submissions, and general guidance on making effective
comments, please visit https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets. For additional information about submitting information
identified as CBI, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this document. Note that written
comments containing CBI and submitted by mail may be delayed and
deliveries or couriers will be received by scheduled appointment only.
    If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name, mailing address, and an email address or other
contact information in the body of your comment. This ensures that you
can be identified as the submitter of the comment and allows EPA to
contact you in case EPA cannot read your comment due to technical
difficulties or needs further information on the substance of your
comment. Any identifying or contact information provided in the body of
a comment will be included as part of the comment that is placed in the
official public docket and made available in EPA's electronic public
docket. If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties
and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to
consider your comment.
    Use of the https://www.regulations.gov website to submit comments
to EPA electronically is EPA's preferred method for receiving comments.
The electronic public docket system is an ``anonymous access'' system,
which means EPA will not know your identity, email address, or other
contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment.
    Please ensure that your comments are submitted within the specified
comment period. Comments received after the close of the comment period
will be marked ``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these late
comments.

Airworthiness Directives; EMBRAER Model EMB-135BJ Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This proposed AD results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation
authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as:

    It has been found that some adhesive tapes used in the interior
furnishings do not comply with the applicable flammability
requirements. In case of some nearby ignition source, fire may
propagate to the aircraft.

The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the
unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by December 3,
2007.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://www.regulations.gov.

Discussion

    The Ag[ecirc]ncia Nacional de Avia[ccedil][atilde]o Civil (ANAC),
which is the aviation authority for Brazil, has issued Brazilian
Airworthiness Directive 2007-03-04, effective April 10, 2007 (referred
to after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe

condition for the specified products. The MCAI states:

    It has been found that some adhesive tapes used in the interior
furnishings do not comply with the applicable flammability
requirements. In case of some nearby ignition source, fire may
propagate to the aircraft.

The corrective actions include an inspection to determine the presence
of cotton adhesive tape, and replacement of the tape with new tape if
necessary. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in
the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    EMBRAER has issued Service Bulletin 145LEG-25-0080, dated October
10, 2006. The actions described in this service information are
intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have proposed different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 41 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it would take about 2 work-hours per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $80 per
work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed
AD on U.S. operators to be $6,560, or $160 per product.

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.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed
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 a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety.

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

    The Exchange is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') a proposed rule change to amend the Fee Schedule to
revise the Complex Order pricing structure and make a clerical
correction to Section III of the BOX Fee Schedule on the BOX Market LLC
(``BOX'') options facility. While changes to the fee schedule pursuant
to this proposal will be effective upon filing, the changes will become
operative on April 1, 2016. The text of the proposed rule change is
available from the principal office of the Exchange, at the
Commission's Public Reference Room and also on the Exchange's Internet
Web site at http://boxexchange.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. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend the Fee Schedule for trading on BOX
to adopt a new pricing structure for Complex Orders.
    Currently, Complex Orders executed on BOX are assessed differing
fees and credits depending on where the Complex Order executes. Complex
Orders that executed against orders on the BOX Book are assessed a flat
fee depending on the account type of the Participant submitting the
order; while Complex Orders that execute against other Complex Orders
on the Complex Order Book are assessed a fee or credit

depending upon (i) the account type of the Participant submitting the
order; and (ii) the account type of the contra party in the
transaction.
    First, the Exchange proposes to revise the Complex Order pricing
structure to remove the execution distinction. Specifically, Complex
Orders will now be assessed the same fee or credit regardless of
whether the Complex Order executes against an Order on the BOX Book or
against another Complex Order. To effect this change, the Exchange
proposes to remove Section III.A. (Complex Orders Executed Against
Orders on the BOX Book) and Section III.B. (Complex Orders Executed
Against Other Complex Orders) and create a new Section III.A. entitled
(All Complex Orders).
    The Exchange then proposes to adopt a contra party pricing
structure in this new section that will assess transaction fees and
credits dependent upon three factors: (i) The account type of the
Participant submitting the order; (ii) whether the Participant is a
liquidity provider or liquidity taker; and (iii) the account type of
the contra party.\5\ The Exchange notes that Complex Orders in Penny
Pilot Classes and Non-Penny Pilot Classes will continue to be assessed
differently, a distinction that occurs across the entirety of the BOX
Fee Schedule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ This pricing model is similar to the Non-Auction
Transactions fee structure in Section I of the BOX Fee Schedule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposed fee structure for all Complex Orders will be
as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                 Penny pilot classes     Non-penny pilot classes
                                                             ---------------------------------------------------

                                                                 credit       credit       credit       credit

                                      Professional Customer/       (0.35)       (0.35)       (0.70)       (0.70)
                                       Broker Dealer.

                                      Professional Customer/       (0.10)         0.30       (0.10)         0.45
                                       Broker Dealer.
                                      Market Maker..........       (0.10)         0.30       (0.10)         0.45
Market Maker........................  Public Customer.......       (0.10)         0.40       (0.10)         0.75
                                      Professional Customer/       (0.10)         0.30       (0.10)         0.45
                                       Broker Dealer.
                                      Market Maker..........       (0.10)         0.30       (0.10)         0.45
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For example, if a Public Customer submitted a Complex Order in a
Penny Pilot Class (making liquidity), the Public Customer would be
credited $0.35 if the Complex Order interacted with a Market Maker's
Complex Order and the Market Maker (taking liquidity) would be charged
$0.40. To expand on this example, if the Market Maker instead submitted
a Complex Order in a Penny Pilot Class (making liquidity), the Market
Maker would be credited $0.10 if the order interacted with a Public
Customer's order and the Public Customer (taking liquidity) would be
credited $0.35.
    The Exchange also proposes to make a clerical correction to Section
III of the BOX Fee Schedule. Specifically, the third paragraph in the
introduction to this section references a Market Maker's ADV (Average
Daily Volume). The Exchange no longer uses a Participant's ADV to
determine volume based tiers for rebates and fees. Instead, the
qualification thresholds are based on a percentage of the Participant's
volume relative to the account type's overall total industry equity and
ETF option volume. Therefore, the Exchange proposes to remove the
reference in this sentence to ADV and replace it with ``executed volume
on BOX.''
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act, in general, and Section
6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,\6\ in particular, in that it provides
for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other
charges among BOX Participants and other persons using its facilities
and does not unfairly discriminate between customers, issuers, brokers
or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange believes that the proposed Complex Order Fees are
reasonable, equitable and not unfairly discriminatory. In particular,
the proposed Complex Order Fees will allow the Exchange to be
competitive with other exchanges and to apply fees and credits in a
manner that is equitable among all BOX Participants. The Exchange
operates within a highly competitive market in which market
participants can readily direct order flow to any other competing
exchange if they determine fees at a particular exchange to be
excessive. The proposed Complex Order Fees are intended to attract
Complex Orders to the Exchange by offering market participants
incentives to submit their Complex Orders to the Exchange. The Exchange
believes it is appropriate to provide incentives for market
participants to submit Complex Orders, resulting in greater liquidity
and ultimately benefiting all Participants trading on the Exchange.
    The Exchange believes revising the Complex Order pricing structure
to assess the same fee or credit regardless of whether the Complex
Order executes against an Order on the BOX Book or against another
Complex Order is reasonable, equitable and not unfairly discriminatory.
With the adoption of the proposed Complex Order pricing structure, the
Exchange believes it is no longer necessary to differentiate these
transaction fees by where the Complex Order executes, and doing so will
reduce investor confusion with respect to the applicable Complex Order
fees and credits.
    The Exchange believes the proposed Complex Order fee structure is
reasonable, equitable and not unfairly discriminatory. The proposed fee
structure is similar to the structure already in place for Complex
Orders that execute against other Complex Orders, and simply adds a
Make/Take factor. Further, a similar fee structure is already in place
for Non-Auction Transactions on the Exchange and has been accepted by
both the Commission and the industry.\7\ The result of this structure
is that a Participant does not know the fee it will be charged when
submitting the Complex Order.

Therefore, the Participant must recognize that it could be charged the
highest applicable fee on the Exchange's Complex Order schedule, which
may, instead, be lowered or changed to a rebate depending upon how the
Complex Order interacts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See supra note 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed credits for Public
Customers in Complex Orders are reasonable. Under the proposed fee
structure, Public Customers will never pay a fee for a Complex Order,
but may receive a credit of $0.35 in Penny Pilot Classes and $0.70 in
Non-Penny Pilot Classes. The Exchange believes providing a credit or
charging no fee to Public Customers for Complex Orders is equitable and
not unfairly discriminatory. The securities markets generally, and BOX
in particular, have historically aimed to improve markets for investors
and develop various features within the market structure for Public
Customer benefit. Accordingly, the Exchange believes that charging no
fee or providing a credit for Public Customers is appropriate and not
unfairly discriminatory. Public Customers are less sophisticated than
other Participants and the credit will help to attract a high level of
Public Customer order flow to the BOX Book and create liquidity, which
the Exchange believes will ultimately benefit all Participants trading
on BOX.
    The Exchange also believes it is reasonable, equitable and not
unfairly discriminatory to give Public Customers a credit when their
Complex Order executes against a non-Public Customer and, accordingly,
charge non-Public Customers a higher fee when their Complex Order
executes against a Public Customer compared to the fee or rebate they
would be assessed if their Complex Order interacts with a non-Public
Customer. As stated above, the Exchange aims to improve markets by
developing features for the benefit of its Public Customers. Similar to
the payment for order flow and other pricing models that have been
adopted by the Exchange and other exchanges to attract Public Customer
order flow, the Exchange increases fees to non-Public Customers to
provide incentives for Public Customers. The Exchange believes that
providing incentives for Complex Orders by Public Customers is
reasonable and, ultimately, will benefit all Participants trading on
the Exchange by attracting Public Customer order flow.
    The Exchange believes that the proposed fees for Professional
Customers and Broker Dealers in Complex Orders are reasonable. Under
the proposed fee structure, a Professional Customer or Broker Dealer
making liquidity and interacting with a Public Customer, Professional
Customer, Broker Dealer or Market Marker will be credited $0.10 for
Complex Orders in both Penny Pilot Classes and Non-Penny Pilot Classes.
If the Professional Customer or Broker Dealer is instead taking
liquidity, for Complex Orders in Penny Pilot Classes it will be charged
either $0.45 if the Complex Order interacts with a Public Customer's
Complex Order or $0.30 if the Complex Order interacts with a
Professional Customer or Broker Dealer or a Market Maker. For Complex
Orders in Non-Penny Pilot Classes, the Professional Customer or Broker
Dealer will be charged either $0.80 if the Complex Order interacts with
a Public Customer's Complex Order or $0.45 if the Complex Order
interacts with a Professional Customer or Broker Dealer or a Market
Maker.
    The Exchange believes that charging Professional Customers and
Broker Dealers higher fees than Public Customers for Complex Orders is
equitable and not unfairly discriminatory. Professional Customers,
while Public Customers by virtue of not being Broker Dealers, generally
engage in trading activity more similar to Broker Dealer proprietary
trading accounts (submitting more than 390 standard orders per day on
average). The Exchange believes that the higher level of trading
activity from these Participants will draw a greater amount of BOX
system resources than that of non-professional, Public Customers.
Because this higher level of trading activity will result in greater
ongoing operational costs, the Exchange aims to recover its costs by
assessing Professional Customers and Broker Dealers higher fees for
transactions.
    Finally, the Exchange believes that the proposed fees for Market
Makers in Complex Orders are reasonable. Under the proposed fee
structure, a Market Maker making liquidity and interacting with a
Public Customer, Professional Customer, Broker Dealer or Market Marker
will be credited $0.10 for Complex Orders in both Penny Pilot Classes
and Non-Penny Pilot Classes. If the Market Maker is instead taking
liquidity, for Complex Orders in Penny Pilot Classes it will be charged
either $0.40 if the Complex Order interacts with a Public Customer's
Complex Order or $0.30 if the Complex Order interacts with a
Professional Customer or Broker Dealer or a Market Maker. For Complex
Orders taking liquidity in Non-Penny Pilot Classes, the Market Maker
will be charged either $0.75 if the Complex Order interacts with a
Public Customer's Complex Order or $0.45 if the Complex Order interacts
with a Professional Customer or Broker Dealer or a Market Maker.
    The Exchange believes it is equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory for BOX Market Makers to be assessed lower fees than
Professional Customers and Broker Dealers for certain Complex Order
executions because of the significant contributions to overall market
quality that Market Makers provide. Specifically, Market Makers can
provide higher volumes of liquidity and lowering their fees will help
attract a higher level of Market Maker order flow to the BOX Book and
create liquidity, which the Exchange believes will ultimately benefit
all Participants trading on BOX. As such, the Exchange believes it is
appropriate that Market Makers be charged lower transaction fees than
Professional Customers and Broker Dealers for certain Complex Order
executions.
    The Exchange believes it is reasonable, equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory for Professional Customers, Broker Dealers and Market
Makers to be charged a higher fee for orders removing liquidity when
compared to the credit they receive for orders that add liquidity.
Giving a credit to Complex Orders that add liquidity will promote
liquidity on the Exchange and ultimately benefit all participants on
BOX. Further, the concept of incentivizing orders that add liquidity
over orders that remove liquidity is commonly accepted within the
industry as part of the ``Make/Take'' liquidity model.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The ``Make/Take'' model is currently used by the
International Securities Exchange LLC (``ISE') and NASDAQ OMX PHLX
LLC (``PHLX'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, the Exchange also believes it is reasonable to charge
Professional Customers, Broker Dealers, and Market Makers less for
certain executions in Penny Pilot issues compared to Non-Penny Pilot
issues because these classes are typically more actively traded;
assessing lower fees will further incentivize order flow in Penny Pilot
issues on the Exchange, ultimately benefiting all Participants trading
on BOX. Additionally, the Exchange believes it is reasonable to give a
greater credit to Public Customers for Complex Orders in Non-Penny
Pilot issues as compared to Penny Pilot issues. Since these classes
have wider spreads and are less actively traded, giving a larger credit
will further incentivize Public Customers to trade in these classes,
ultimately benefitting all Participants trading on BOX.

    The Exchange believes that the proposed Complex Order fee structure
will keep the Exchange competitive with other exchanges and will be
applied in an equitable manner among all BOX Participants. The Exchange
believes the proposed fee structure is reasonable and competitive with
fee structures in place on other exchanges. Further, the Exchange
believes that the competitive marketplace impacts the fees proposed for
BOX.

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 not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange believes that
applying a fee structure that is determined according to whether the
Complex Order removes or adds liquidity, the account type of the
Participant submitting the Complex Order, and the contra party will
result in Participants being charged appropriately for these
transactions. Submitting a Complex is entirely voluntary and
Participants can determine which type of order they wish to submit, if
any, to the Exchange.
    Further, the Exchange believes that this proposal will enhance
competition between exchanges because it is designed to allow the
Exchange to better compete with other exchanges for Complex Order flow.
    Finally, the Exchange notes that it operates in a highly
competitive market in which market participants can readily favor
competing exchanges. In such an environment, the Exchange must
continually review, and consider adjusting, its fees and credits to
remain competitive with other exchanges. For the reasons described
above, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change reflects
this competitive environment.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Exchange Act \9\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2)
thereunder,\10\ because it establishes or changes a due, or fee.

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

Self-Regulatory Organizations; MIAX PEARL, LLC; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To Amend Rule
510, Minimum Price Variations and Minimum Trading Increments To Extend
the Penny Pilot Program

November 25, 2019.
    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 13, 2019, MIAX PEARL, LLC (``MIAX PEARL'' or the
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') a proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange is filing a proposal to amend Rule 510, Minimum Price
Variations and Minimum Trading Increments, Interpretation and Policy
.01 to extend the pilot program for the quoting and trading of certain
options in pennies.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at http://www.miaxoptions.com/rule-filings/pearl, at MIAX
PEARL's principal office, and at the Commission's Public Reference
Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange is a participant in an industry-wide pilot program
that provides for the quoting and trading of certain option classes in
penny increments (the ``Penny Pilot Program'' or ``Program''). The
Penny Pilot Program allows the quoting and trading of certain option
classes in minimum increments of $0.01 for all series in such option
classes with a price of less than $3.00; and in minimum increments of
$0.05 for all series in such option classes with a price of $3.00 or
higher. Options overlying the PowerShares QQQTM (``QQQ''),
SPDR[supreg] S&P 500[supreg] ETF (``SPY''), and iShares[supreg] Russell
2000 ETF (``IWM''), however, are quoted and traded in minimum
increments of $0.01 for all series regardless of the price. The Penny
Pilot Program was initiated at the then existing option exchanges in
January 2007 \3\ and currently includes more than 300 of the most
active option classes. The Penny Pilot Program is currently scheduled
to expire on December 31, 2019.\4\ The purpose of the proposed rule
change is to extend the Penny Pilot Program in its current format
through June 30, 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 55154 (January 23,
2007), 72 FR 4743 (February 1, 2007) (SR-CBOE-2006-92); 55161
(January 24, 2007), 72 FR 4754 (February 1, 2007) (SR-ISE-2006-62);
54886 (December 6, 2006), 71 FR 74979 (December 13, 2006) (SR-Phlx-
2006-74); 54590 (October 12, 2006), 71 FR 61525 (October 18, 2006)
(SR-NYSEArca-2006-73); and 54741 (November 9, 2006), 71 FR 67176
(November 20, 2006) (SR-Amex-2006-106).
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 86049 (June 6,
2019), 84 FR 27381 (June 12, 2019) (SR-PEARL-2019-20) (extending the
Penny Pilot Program from June 30, 2019 to December 31, 2019).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act \5\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \6\ 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, to remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanisms of a free and open market and a national market system and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    In particular, the proposed rule change, which extends the Penny
Pilot Program for six months, allows the Exchange to continue to
participate in a program that has been viewed as beneficial to traders,
investors and public customers and viewed as successful by the other
options exchanges participating in it.

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. Specifically, the Exchange
believes that, by extending the expiration of the Pilot Program, the
proposed rule change will allow for further analysis of the Penny Pilot
Program and a determination of how the Program should be structured in
the future. In doing so, the proposed rule change will also serve to
promote regulatory clarity and consistency, thereby reducing burdens on
the marketplace, facilitating investor protection, and fostering a
competitive environment. In addition, consistent with previous
practices, the Exchange

believes the other options exchanges will be filing similar extensions
of the Penny Pilot Program.

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

    Because the foregoing 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 after the date of the filing, or such
shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective
pursuant to 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \7\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \8\
thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 should be approved or 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 following methods:
