[1] Unit burden estimates are estimated totals, rounded to the nearest three significant figures of an hour, based on the distribution of storage and production facilities and the number of facilities estimated to perform each activity during the one-year period. The numbers in this exhibit may not add precisely due to rounding.

[2] Annual costs are rounded to the three significant figures.

6(f) 	Reasons for the Change in Burden

	Differences in burden and costs from the previous ICR are attributed to adjustments for wage rates and the projected universe of facilities over the covered period 2019 through 2021. Adjustments capture updates to the number of affected facilities and wages.

	Exhibit 19 presents the annual burden hours and costs. In total, the burden hours presented in this ICR have increased relative to the currently approved OMB inventory. The new burden estimate shows a net annual increase of approximately 147,600 hours (two percent increase from the current inventory) due to the net change in the universe of regulated facilities after accounting for changes in the numbers of existing and newly regulated facilities in the new ICR period. The universe of regulated facilities is also estimated to be approximately two percent greater on average during the three years covered by this ICR renewal than the current universe (550,700 respondents vs. 542,100 respondents).

	Annual O&M costs are estimated to increase by approximately $4,597,000 (two percent) relative to the current OMB inventory. These increases are due the combination of the higher number of regulated facilities projected between 2019-2021 compared to the number of facilities between 2016-2018 estimated in the current ICR, as well as higher labor, capital and O&M unit costs due to inflation.

[1]Currently approved cost was adjusted to $2018 from the 2016 ICR, which had a total requested value of $183,160,300 in $2015. The value was adjusted using the Employment Cost Index with an inflation rate of 7.6 percent.

 	The exhibits below present the change in burden (hours and costs) compared to the burden estimates currently approved by OMB. Exhibit 20 shows the change in burden for all facilities, except for facilities owned or operated by the federal government. Private facilities are broken out separately in Exhibit 21, and State and Local Government facilities, in Exhibit 22.

[1]Annual Responses and Annual Hour Burden values in the column, Due to EPA Estimate, do not equal the sums of these values in Exhibits 21 and 22 for private facilities and state and local government facilities, respectively because the Currently Approved values are rounded while Total Requested values are not. This creates a small discrepancy when the private and state and local government figures are summed, and the total is compared to the All Respondent Facilities totals in Exhibit 20.
[2]Currently approved cost burden was adjusted to $2018 from the 2016 ICR, which had a total requested value of $183,160,300 in $2015. The value was adjusted using the Employment Cost Index with an inflation rate of 7.6 percent.

6(g) 	Burden Statement

      The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is around 11 hours per response. For newly regulated facilities, it is estimated to range from 13 to 203 hours per facility, with an average burden of approximately 57 hours per response. The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for facilities already regulated by the rule is estimated to range from 4 to 39 hours, with an average burden of approximately 10 hours.

	Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.

                                  APPENDIX A

                         SPCC ICR Consultation Script

Hello [PE contact name], my name is [contractor name], and I work for ICF. We are a contractor for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Every three years, EPA updates its estimates for paperwork-related burden for implementing the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) regulation. Your responses will help EPA determine reasonable burden hours required for completing SPCC paperwork. Note that the questions relate specifically to the administrative or paperwork-related activities associated with SPCC compliance, such as Plan preparation, certification, recordkeeping, and reporting, not capital or O&M costs associated with equipment or installations.

We estimate that this interview should take no more than 15 minutes and we greatly appreciate your willingness to provide insight based on your experience.

First, I will ask some general background questions to understand your experience developing SPCC Plans.

 Our understanding based on our research is that your firm provides engineering or technical support to facilities subject to SPCC regulation, including support in preparing SPCC Plans. Is that correct?
[If NO, then thank them for their time and end the call.]

 What is your position at [PE firm name]?

 Would it be helpful to be reminded of what the SPCC regulation is?
[If YES, then provide the following information:

The regulation establishes spill prevention procedures, methods, and equipment requirements for non-transportation-related onshore and offshore facilities with oil storage capacity greater than certain thresholds and meeting other criteria. Regulated facilities are those which, because of their location, could reasonably be expected to discharge oil in quantities that may be harmful into the navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines.]

 Approximately how many SPCC Plans have you worked on over the last five years [or another period (annually) if needed to provide an estimate]? This would include SPCC Plans that you have developed and/or certified.

 Can you describe the types of facilities for which you develop or certify SPCC Plans? For example, are the Plans for small or large facilities? For oil storage and distribution facilities, oil production facilities, manufacturing facilities, or farms?

 How does your firm price its SPCC Plan development or certification services? By time and materials (T&M), fixed price, or another pricing structure?

We provided you with written questions in advance of this phone call with estimates of the labor hours required to complete SPCC-related tasks. It would be helpful for you to refer to it as I go over my next set of questions. Do you have the questions in front of you?

[Pause to confirm]

EPA estimated hours required to complete certain SPCC-related tasks. These hours vary by whether the facility is a storage or production facility, and which of EPA's four size categories the facilities fall under. For reference, the definitions of each size category are provided in Table 1. I will be asking you questions that seek to assess whether these estimates are reasonable. We understand that this assessment is based on your personal experience and that facility-specific factors may result in different values, but please do your best to think about an "average" facility you have worked with.

Table 1: SPCC-Regulated Facility Size Categories
                                 Size Category
                              Aggregate Capacity
                                       I
                 Non-farm facilities: 1,321 to 10,000 gallons
                  Farm facilities: 2,501[1] to 19,999 gallons
                                      II
                 Non-farm facilities: 10,001 to 42,000 gallons
                   Farm facilities: 20,000 to 42,000 gallons
                                      III
                  All facilities: 42,001 to 1 million gallons
                                      IV
                All facilities: greater than 1 million gallons
         [1]Note that the correct threshold is 2,500 gallons, not 2,501 gallons, which was included in the Consultation Script in error. However, EPA does not believe that this error had any material effect on the responses to the consultation questions.

[If PE firm indicated in Question 5 that they provide services to storage facilities, ask questions 7a-7k. If PE firm indicated that they serve production facilities, ask questions 8a-8k. If PE firm serves both, ask questions 7a-7k and 8a-8k.]

  [For STORAGE facilities:]

 Have you ever prepared a new Plan for a new facility? Note that preparing the Plan does not include certifying the Plan if you charge for certification separately.

[IF YES, continue on to question 7b. IF NO, then skip to question 7d.]

 Approximately how many total hours are required to prepare a new Plan for each size category?

 In the questions we provided you, there is a table with estimated average values of labor hours required to prepare a new Plan for a new facility. These values are in Table 2. They include only the number of hours required to prepare the Plan, not to certify the Plan. Please take a look at the values and let me know if these estimates are reasonable. If not, please let me know the number of hours that you think are reasonable. If you are unsure, do you think the total provided is reasonable? What about the distribution among staff of different levels? Which numbers do you think should be higher or lower?

 Have you done technical amendments to an existing SPCC Plan, for example to incorporate a material change in facility design, construction, operations or maintenance that alters the potential for an oil spill? Note that amending the Plan does not include certifying the Plan if you charge for certification separately.

[IF YES, continue on to question 7e. IF NO, then skip to question 7g.]

 Approximately how many total hours are required to amend an existing Plan for each size category?

 I will next ask about the number of labor hours required for amending an existing SPCC Plan. Please refer to Table 3. These values include only the number of hours for amending the Plan, not to certify the Plan. Please take a look at the values and let me know if these estimates are reasonable. If not, please let me know the number of hours that you think are reasonable. If you are unsure, do you think the total provided is reasonable? What about the distribution among staff of different levels? Which numbers do you think should be higher or lower?

 Have you ever prepared a five-year review of an existing Plan?

[IF YES, continue on to question 7h. IF NO, then skip to question 7j.]

 Approximately how many total hours are required to conduct a five-year review for each size category?

 Next I will ask about number of labor hours required for a five-year review for existing Plans. Please refer to Table 4. Please take a look at the values and let me know if these estimates are reasonable. If not, please let me know the hours that you think are reasonable. If you are unsure, do you think the total provided is reasonable? What about the distribution among staff of different levels? Which numbers do you think should be higher or lower?

 [For PRODUCTION facilities:]

 Have you prepared a new Plan for a new production facility? Note that preparing the Plan does not include certifying the Plan if you charge for certification separately.

[IF YES, continue on to question 8b. IF NO, then skip to question 8d.]

 Approximately how many total hours are required to prepare a new Plan for each size category?

 In the questions we provided you, there is a table with estimated average values of labor hours required to prepare a new Plan for a new facility. These values are in Table 6. They include only the number of hours required to prepare the Plan, not to certify the Plan. Please take a look at the values and let me know if these estimates are reasonable. If not, please let me know the number of hours that you think are reasonable. If you are unsure, do you think the total provided is reasonable? What about the distribution among staff of different levels? Which numbers do you think should be higher or lower?

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2014-0179; Directorate Identifier 2014-NE-03-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Technify Motors GmbH Reciprocating
Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Technify Motors GmbH (type certificate previously held by
Thielert Aircraft Engines GmbH) TAE 125-02-99 and TAE 125-02-114
reciprocating engines. This proposed AD was prompted by in-flight
shutdowns on airplanes with TAE 125-02 engines. This proposed AD would
require removal of each high-pressure (HP) fuel pump before 300 flight
hours (FHs) in service or within 55 FHs after the effective date of the
AD, whichever occurs later. We are proposing this AD to prevent failure
of the HP fuel pump, which could result in damage to the engine and
damage to the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by July 22, 2014.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
AD 2013-0279, dated November 26, 2013 (referred to hereinafter as ``the
MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The
MCAI states:

    In-flight shut down occurrences have been reported on aeroplanes
equipped with TAE 125-02 engines. The initial results of the
investigations showed that abnormal high wear of the high pressure
fuel pumps was the probable cause of the engine failure.
    This condition, if not corrected, could result in further cases
of engine power loss events and consequent potential loss of control
of the aeroplane.

    We are proposing this AD to prevent damage to the engine and damage
to the aircraft. You may obtain further information by examining the
MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by
searching for and locating it in Docket No. FAA-2014-0179.

Relevant Service Information

    Technify Motors GmbH has issued Service Bulletin No. TM TAE 125-
1017 P1, Revision 1, dated September 20, 2013. The service information
describes procedures for removing and replacing the HP fuel pump.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of
Germany, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the European Community, EASA has
notified us of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all information provided by EASA and determined the unsafe
condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of
the same type design. This proposed AD would require removal of each
affected HP fuel pump.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 160 engines installed on
airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would take about 1
hour per engine to comply with this proposed AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the
proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $13,600.

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),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction, and
    (4) 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.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule
Change To Amend Fees for Certain Complex Orders Executed on the
Exchange

July 11, 2012.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on July 2, 2012, the International Securities Exchange, LLC (the
``Exchange'' or the ``ISE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described
in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by the
Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments
on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The ISE proposes to amend fees for certain complex orders executed
on the Exchange. The text of the proposed rule change is available on
the Exchange's Web site (http://www.ise.com), at the principal office
of the Exchange, and at

the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the 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 statements 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 currently assesses per contract transaction fees and
rebates to market participants that add or remove liquidity in the
complex order book (``maker/taker fees and rebates'') in all symbols
traded on the Exchange. The maker/taker fees and rebates apply to
Market Maker,\3\ Market Maker Plus,\4\ Non-ISE Market Maker,\5\ Firm
Proprietary, Customer (Professional) \6\ and Priority Customer \7\
orders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The term ``Market Makers'' refers to ``Competitive Market
Makers'' and ``Primary Market Makers'' collectively. See ISE Rule
100(a)(25).
    \4\ A Market Maker Plus is an ISE Market Maker who is on the
National Best Bid or National Best Offer 80% of the time for series
trading between $0.03 and $5.00 (for options whose underlying
stock's previous trading day's last sale price was less than or
equal to $100) and between $0.10 and $5.00 (for options whose
underlying stock's previous trading day's last sale price was
greater than $100) in premium in each of the front two expiration
months and 80% of the time for series trading between $0.03 and
$5.00 (for options whose underlying stock's previous trading day's
last sale price was less than or equal to $100) and between $0.10
and $5.00 (for options whose underlying stock's previous trading
day's last sale price was greater than $100) in premium across all
expiration months in order to receive the rebate. The Exchange
determines whether a Market Maker qualifies as a Market Maker Plus
at the end of each month by looking back at each Market Maker's
quoting statistics during that month. If at the end of the month, a
Market Maker meets the Exchange's stated criteria, the Exchange
rebates $0.10 per contract for transactions executed by that Market
Maker during that month. The Exchange provides Market Makers a
report on a daily basis with quoting statistics so that Market
Makers can determine whether or not they are meeting the Exchange's
stated criteria.
    \5\ The term ``Non-ISE Market Maker'' means a market maker as
defined in Section 3(a)(38) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act'') registered in the same options class on another
options exchange. See Schedule of Fees, page 4.
    \6\ A Customer (Professional) is a person who is not a broker/
dealer and is not a Priority Customer.
    \7\ A Priority Customer is defined in ISE Rule 100(a)(37A) as a
person or entity that is not a broker/dealer in securities, and does
not place more than 390 orders in listed options per day on average
during a calendar month for its own beneficial account(s).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'') approval,
the Exchange currently allows Market Makers to enter quotations for
complex order strategies in the complex order book.\8\ Given this
enhancement to the complex order functionality, and in order to
maintain a competitive fee and rebate structure for Priority Customer
orders, the Exchange has adopted maker fees that apply to transactions
in the complex order book when they interact with Priority Customer
orders in options overlying XOP, GLD, VXX, XLB, EFA, AA, ABX, MSFT, MU,
NVDA, VZ, and WFC (``Complex Quoting Symbols'').\9\ Specifically, the
Exchange currently charges a ``maker'' fee of $0.30 per contract in XOP
and $0.32 per contract in GLD, VXX, XLB, EFA, AA, ABX, MSFT, MU, NVDA,
VZ and WFC) for Market Maker, Market Maker Plus, Non-ISE Market Maker,
Firm Proprietary and Customer (Professional) orders when these orders
interact with Priority Customer orders. Priority Customer orders in the
Complex Quoting Symbols that trade in the complex order book are not
charged a fee and do not receive a rebate when interacting with other
Priority Customer orders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 65548 (October 13,
2011), 76 FR 64980 (October 19, 2011) (SR-ISE-2011-39).
    \9\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 65958 (December 15,
2011), 76 FR 79236 (December 21, 2011) (SR-ISE-2011-81); 66406
(February 16, 2012), 77 FR 10579 (February 22, 2012) (SR-ISE-2012-
07); and SR-ISE-2012-59 filed June 20, 2012. The Exchange notes that
XOP is currently in the Penny Pilot program and GLD, VXX, XLB, AA,
ABX, MSFT, MU, NVDA, VZ, and WFC are currently Select Symbols.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange now proposes to increase the maker fee for the Complex
Quoting Symbols to $0.35 per contract when these orders interact with
Priority Customer orders in the complex order book. Specifically, with
this proposed rule change, the Exchange proposes to increase the
``maker'' fee from $0.32 per contract to $0.35 per contract in GLD,
VXX, XLB, EFA, AA, ABX, MSFT, MU, NVDA, VZ and WFC, and from $0.30 per
contract to $0.35 per contract in XOP, for Market Maker, Market Maker
Plus, Non-ISE Market Maker, Firm Proprietary and Customer
(Professional) orders when these orders interact with Priority Customer
orders. The Exchange does not propose any change to fees for Priority
Customer orders in the Complex Quoting Symbols that trade in the
complex order book. With this proposed fee change, the Exchange seeks
to standardize the ``maker'' fee charged for complex orders in the
Complex Quoting Symbols when trading against Priority Customer orders
and, as a result, proposes to remove the table identifying the Complex
Order Maker Fee for option symbol XOP from its Schedule of Fees as it
is no longer necessary to separately identify the ``maker'' fee for XOP
from the ``maker'' fee for GLD, VXX, XLB, EFA, AA, ABX, MSFT, MU, NVDA,
VZ and WFC because all Complex Quoting Symbols will now be charged the
same rate of $0.35 per contract when trading against Priority Customer
orders.
    Additionally, the Exchange provides Market Makers with a two cent
discount when trading against Priority Customer orders that are
preferenced to them. This discount is applicable when Market Makers add
or remove liquidity from the complex order book in the Complex Quoting
Symbols. Specifically, Market Makers that add or remove [sic] liquidity
in GLD, VXX, XLB, EFA, AA, ABX, MSFT, MU, NVDA, VZ and WFC from the
complex order book are currently charged $0.30 per contract ($0.28 per
contract in XOP) when trading against Priority Customer orders that are
preferenced to them. With the proposed increase of the ``maker'' fee to
$0.35 per contract for all Complex Quoting Symbols, Market Makers that
add liquidity from the complex order book in the Complex Quoting
Symbols will now be charged $0.33 per contract when trading against
Priority Customer orders that are preferenced to them.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to amend its Schedule of
Fees is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act \10\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \11\ in
particular, in that it is an equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees and other charges among Exchange members and other persons using
its facilities. The impact of the proposal upon the net fees paid by a
particular market participant will depend on a number of variables,
most important of which will be its propensity to add or remove
liquidity in options overlying the Complex Quoting Symbols in the
complex order book.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that increasing the fees applicable to orders
executed in the complex order book when trading against Priority
Customer orders in the

Complex Quoting Symbols is appropriate given the new functionality
developed by the Exchange that allows market makers to quote in the
complex order book. Additionally, the Exchange's fees remain
competitive with fees charged by other exchanges and are therefore
reasonable and equitably allocated to those members that opt to direct
orders to the Exchange rather than to a competing exchange.
Specifically, the Exchange believes that its proposal to assess a
``maker'' fee of $0.35 per contract for the Complex Quoting Symbols
when orders in these symbols interact with Priority Customer orders is
reasonable and equitable because the fee is within the range of fees
assessed by other exchanges employing similar pricing schemes. For
example, the ``maker'' fee for a broker/dealer complex order in MSFT at
NASDAQ OMX PHLX (``PHLX'') is $0.20 per contract \12\ while the same
order that is electronically delivered at the Chicago Board Options
Exchange (``CBOE'') is $0.45 per contract.\13\ Furthermore, with this
proposed fee change, the Exchange seeks to standardize the fee charged
for complex orders in the Complex Quoting Symbols when these orders
interact with Priority Customers in the complex order book.
Additionally, one of the primary goals of this fee change is to
maintain the attractive and competitive economics for Priority Customer
complex orders, in light of the enhanced manner in which complex orders
now trade on the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See PHLX Fee Schedule, Section I, Part B., at http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/content/marketregulation/membership/phlx/feesched.pdf.
    \13\ See CBOE Fees Schedule, Section 1.VI. at http://www.cboe.com/publish/feeschedule/CBOEFeeSchedule.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that it is reasonable and equitable to
provide a two cent discount to Market Makers on preferenced orders as
an incentive for them to quote in the complex order book. Accordingly,
Market Makers who add or remove liquidity in the Complex Quoting
Symbols from the complex order book will be charged $0.33 per contract
when trading with Priority Customer orders that are preferenced to
them. ISE notes that with this proposed fee change, the Exchange will
continue to maintain a two cent differential that was previously in
place.
    Moreover, the Exchange believes that the proposed fees are fair,
equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because the proposed fees are
consistent with price differentiation that exists today at other
options exchanges. The Exchange believes it remains an attractive venue
for market participants to trade complex orders despite its proposed
fee change as its fees remain competitive with those charged by other
exchanges for similar trading strategies. The Exchange operates in a
highly competitive market in which market participants can readily
direct order flow to another exchange if they deem fee levels at a
particular exchange to be excessive. For the reasons noted above, the
Exchange believes that the proposed fees are fair, equitable and not
unfairly discriminatory.

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

    The proposed rule change does not impose any burden on competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
