SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-55460; File No. SR-Amex-2007-30]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; American Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change
Relating to Transaction Charges for Equities and ETFs

March 13, 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 March 8, 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 and
II below, which Items have been substantially 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 Exchange proposes to revise Equities and Exchange Traded Funds
and Trust Issued Receipts (``ETFs'') Fee Schedules (collectively, the
``Fee Schedule'').
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site (http://www.amex.com), at the Exchange'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 recently revised its Equities, ETFs, and Nasdaq UTP
Fee Schedules.\3\ The Exchange is now proposing to make some additional
changes to the Equities and ETFs Fee Schedules. The Equity Fee Schedule
currently provides a waiver of transaction charges for orders of up to
500 shares entered electronically into the Amex Order File from off the
floor (``System Orders''). This transaction charge waiver does not
apply to the System Orders of a member or member organization trading
as an agent for the account of a non-member competing market maker.\4\
The Exchange is now proposing to extend the transaction charge waiver
to System Orders for the accounts of non-member competing market
makers. Thus, the Equity Fee Schedule is being amended to eliminate the
second and third sentences of Item 3 on the schedule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See SR-Amex-2007-23 filed on February 22, 2007 and SR-Amex-
2007-28 filed on March 1, 2007.
    \4\ A competing market maker is defined for purposes of the
Equity and ETF Fee Schedules as a specialist or market maker
registered as such on a registered stock exchange (other than Amex),
or a market maker bidding and offering over-the-counter, in an Amex-
traded security.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The ETF Fee Schedule also provides a waiver of transaction charges
for orders entered electronically into the Amex Order File from off the
floor. However for ETFs, orders up to 2,400 shares are deemed to be
System Orders for which transaction charges are waived. Again, the
transaction charge waiver currently does not apply to the System Orders
of a member or member organization trading as an agent for the account
of a non-member competing market maker. The Exchange is now proposing
to extend the transaction charge waiver to System Orders for the
accounts of non-member competing market makers. Thus, the ETF Fee
Schedule is being amended to eliminate the second and third sentences
of Note 1 on the schedule.
    The Exchange is also proposing to apply the waiver of transaction
charges for System Orders in equities and ETFs for the accounts of non-
member competing market makers retroactively, beginning March 1, 2007.
2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed fee change is consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the
Act \5\ regarding the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees,
and other charges among exchange members and other persons using
exchange facilities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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
the Act.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective immediately pursuant
to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \6\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \7\
thereunder because it does not: (i) Significantly affect the protection
of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden
on competition; (iii) become operative for 30 days from the date on
which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may
designate.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \7\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \8\ Rule 19b-4(f)(6) also requires the self-regulatory
organization to give the Commission notice of its intent to file the
proposed rule change, along with a brief description and text of the
proposed rule change, at least five business days prior to the date
of filing of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time as
designed by the Commission. The Commission has determined to waive
the five-day pre-filing requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission has determined to waive the 30-day operative delay.
The Commission believes that doing so is consistent with the protection
of investors and the public interest because eligible parties will be
able to obtain the benefit of the fee waivers immediately. Accordingly,
the

Commission designates the proposal to be operative upon filing with the
Commission.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay of
this proposal, the Commission has considered the propose rule's
impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15
U.S.C. 78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary of appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise
in the furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed
Rule Change To Permit Concurrent Listing of $3.50 and $4 Strikes for
Classes in the $0.50 Strike and $1 Strike Programs

January 12, 2010.

by the Exchange. The Exchange filed the proposal as a ``non-
controversial'' proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\4\ The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the

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

    CBOE proposes to amend Interpretation and Policy .01 to Rule 5.5,
Series of Options Open for Trading, to permit the concurrent listing of
$3.50 and $4 strikes for classes that participate in both the $0.50
Strike and $1 Strike Programs. The text of the rule proposal is
available on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.cboe.org/legal), at
the Exchange's Office of the Secretary and at the Commission.

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 those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange recently implemented a rule change that permits strike
price intervals of $0.50 for options on stocks trading at or below
$3.00 (``$0.50 Strike Program'').\5\ As part of the filing to establish
the $0.50 Strike Program, the Exchange contemplated that a class may be
selected to participate in both the $0.50 Strike Program and the $1
Strike Program. Under the $1 Strike Program, new series with $1
intervals are not permitted to be listed within $0.50 of an existing
$2.50 strike price in the same series, except that strike prices of $2
and $3 are permitted to be listed within $0.50 of a $2.50 strike price
for classes also selected to participate in the $0.50 Strike
Program.\6\ Under CBOE's existing rule, for classes selected to
participate in both the $0.50 Strike Program and the $1 Strike Program,
the Exchange may either: (a) List a $3.50 strike but not list

a $4 strike; or (b) list a $4 strike but not list a $3.50 strike. For
example, under the Exchange's current rules, if a $3.50 strike for an
option class in both the $0.50 and $1 Strike Programs was listed, the
next highest permissible strike price would be $5.00. Alternatively, if
a $4 strike was listed, the next lowest permissible strike price would
be $3.00. The intent of the $.50 Strike Program was to expand the
ability of investors to hedge risks associated with stocks trading at
or under $3 and to provide finer intervals of $0.50, beginning at $1 up
to $3.50. As a result, the Exchange believes that the current filing is
consistent with the purpose of the $0.50 Strike Program and will permit
the Exchange to fill in any existing gaps resulting from having to
choose whether to list a $3.50 or $4 strike for options classes in both
the $0.50 and $1 Strike Programs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Exchange Act Release No. 60695 (September 18, 2009), 74
FR 49055 (September 24, 2009) (SR-CBOE-2009-069). See also
Interpretation and Policy .01(b) to Rule 5.5.
    \6\ See Interpretation and Policy .01(a)(2) to Rule 5.5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Therefore, the Exchange is submitting the current filing to permit
the listing of concurrent $3.50 and $4 strikes for classes that are
selected to participate in both the $0.50 Strike Program and the $1
Strike Program. To effect this change, the Exchange is proposing to
amend Interpretation and Policy .01(a)(2) to Rule 5.5 by adding $4 to
the strike prices of $2 and $3 currently permitted if a class
participates in both the $0.50 Strike Program and the $1 Strike
Program.
    The Exchange is also proposing to amend the current rule text to
delete references to ``$2.50 strike prices'' (and the example utilizing
$2.50 strike prices) and to replace those references with broader
language, e.g., ``existing strike prices.''
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Act \7\ and the rules and regulations thereunder and, in
particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\8\
Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is
consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) \9\ requirements that the rules of
an exchange be designed to promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts, to remove
impediments to and to perfect the mechanism for a free and open market
and a national market system, and, in general, to protect investors and
the public interest by permitting the Exchange to list more granular
strikes on options overlying lower priced securities, which the
Exchange believes will provide investors with greater flexibility by
allowing them to establish positions that are better tailored to meet
their investment objectives.

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    CBOE 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.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule does not (i) significantly
affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose
any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as
the Commission may designate if consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, provided that the self-regulatory
organization has given 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 proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\11\

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On April 20, 2016, we issued AD 2016-09-04, Amendment 39-18502 (81
FR 26102, May 2, 2016) (``AD 2016-09-04''), for certain Bombardier,
Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes. AD
2016-09-04 was prompted by the discovery of a number of incorrectly
calibrated AOA transducers installed in the stall protection system. AD
2016-09-04 required replacement of incorrectly calibrated AOA
transducers. We issued AD 2016-09-04 to detect and replace incorrectly
calibrated AOA transducers; incorrect calibration of the transducers
could result in late activation of the stick pusher.
    Since we issued AD 2016-09-04, we received a report of a
typographical error in the regulatory text of AD 2016-09-04. Paragraph
(h) of AD 2016-09-04 inadvertently stated, ``having a part number or
serial number.'' This should have stated ``having a part number and
serial number.'' We have revised paragraph (h) of this AD accordingly.
    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian AD CF-2015-17, dated July 16,
2015 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness
Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for
certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 &
440) airplanes. The MCAI states:

    It was discovered that a number of AOA transducers installed on
Bombardier CL-600-2B19 aeroplanes were incorrectly calibrated due to
a quality control problem at both the production and repair
facilities. Incorrect calibration of the AOA transducer could result
in a late activation of the stick pusher.
    This [Canadian] AD mandates the replacement of the incorrectly
calibrated AOA transducer.

    You may examine the MCAI on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2016-
7266.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-27-164, dated March
30, 2015. The service information describes procedures for replacement
of incorrectly calibrated AOA transducers with correctly calibrated AOA
transducers. This service information is reasonably available because
the interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This 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 issuing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    We are superseding AD 2016-09-04 to correct a typographical error
in the regulatory text. No other changes have been made to AD 2016-09-
04. Therefore, we determined that notice and opportunity for public
comment are unnecessary.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and

we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public comment. We
invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or arguments about
this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under the ADDRESSES
section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2016-7266; Directorate Identifier
2016-NM-085-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We specifically
invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and
energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all comments received by
the closing date and may amend this AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 575 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We also estimate that it would take about 4 work-hours per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about $10,000 per
product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on
U.S. operators to be $5,945,500, or $10,340 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 AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    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; 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

Adoption of the Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OAR-2018-0279; FRL-10009-30-OAR]

Release of Policy Assessment for the Ozone National Ambient Air
Quality Standards

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: On or about May 29, 2020, the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) will make available the document, Policy Assessment for the Ozone
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (PA, EPA-452/R-20-001). This
document was prepared as part of the current review of the national
ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for photochemical oxidants
including ozone (O3). The PA serves to ``bridge the gap''
between the currently available scientific and technical information
and the judgments required of the Administrator in determining whether
to retain or revise the existing O3 NAAQS. The primary and
secondary O3 NAAQS are set to protect the public health and
the public welfare from O3 and other photochemical oxidants
in ambient air.

DATES: This document will be available on or about May 29, 2020.

ADDRESSES: This document will be available on the EPA's website at
https://www.epa.gov/naaqs/ozone-o3-air-quality-standards. The document
will be accessible under ``Policy Assessments'' from the current
review.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Deirdre L. Murphy, Office of Air
Quality Planning and Standards, (Mail Code C504-06), U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, NC 27711; telephone number:
919-541-0729, fax number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; or email:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Two sections of the Clean Air Act (CAA or
the Act) govern the establishment and revision of the NAAQS. Section
108 directs the Administrator to identify and list certain air
pollutants and then issue ``air quality criteria'' for those
pollutants. The air quality criteria are to ``accurately reflect the
latest scientific knowledge useful in indicating the kind and extent of
all identifiable effects on public health or welfare which may be
expected from the presence of such pollutant in the ambient air . . .''
(CAA section 108(a)(2)). Under section 109 of the Act, the EPA is then
to establish primary (health-based) and secondary (welfare-based) NAAQS
for each pollutant for which the EPA has issued air quality criteria.
Section 109(d)(1) of the Act requires periodic review and, if
appropriate, revision of existing air quality criteria. Revised air
quality criteria are to reflect advances in scientific knowledge on the
effects of the pollutant on public health and welfare. Under the same
provision, the EPA is also to periodically review and, if appropriate,
revise the NAAQS, based on the revised air quality criteria.
    The Act additionally requires appointment of an independent
scientific review committee that is to periodically review the existing
air quality criteria and NAAQS and to recommend any new standards and
revisions of existing criteria and standards as may be appropriate (CAA
section 109(d)(2)(A)-(B)). Since the early 1980s, the requirement for
an independent scientific review committee has been fulfilled by the
Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC).
    Presently the EPA is reviewing the air quality criteria and NAAQS
for photochemical oxidants and O3.\1\ The EPA's overall plan
for this review is presented in the Integrated Review Plan for the
Ozone NAAQS (IRP).\2\ As described in the IRP, the EPA has prepared an
Integrated Science Assessment for Ozone and Related Photochemical
Oxidants (ISA), a draft of which was released in September 2019 for
public comment and review by the CASAC.\3\ A draft of the PA was also
reviewed by the CASAC (84 FR 58713, November 1, 2019; 85 FR 4656,
January 27, 2020). The final PA reflects consideration of the advice
and comments from the CASAC,\4\ as well as public comments, on the
draft PA. The PA serves to ``bridge the gap'' between the scientific
and technical information in the final ISA and any air quality,
exposure and risk analyses available in the review, and the judgments
required of the Administrator in determining whether to retain or
revise the existing ozone NAAQS. The PA builds upon information
presented in the ISA and quantitative air quality, exposure and risk
analyses (presented in appendices to the PA). The PA document will be
available on or about May 29, 2020, on the EPA's website at https://www.epa.gov/naaqs/ozone-o3-air-quality-standards. The document briefly
described here does not represent and should not be construed to
represent any final EPA policy, viewpoint, or determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The EPA's call for information for this review was issued on
June 26, 2018 (83 FR 29785).

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-68155; File No. SR-CBOE-2012-100]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change Relating to System Access, Connectivity, and
Testing

November 5, 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 October 23, 2012, Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated
(the ``Exchange'' or ``CBOE'') 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 the
Substance of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend its rules regarding Hybrid Trading
System (the ``System'') \3\ access, connectivity, and testing by
Trading Permit Holders. The text of the proposed rule change is
available on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), at the Exchange's Office of the
Secretary, and at the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The System is a trading platform that allows automatic
executions to occur electronically and open outcry trades to occur
on the floor of the Exchange. To operate in this ``hybrid''
environment, the Exchange has a dynamic order handling system that
has the capability to route orders to the trade engine for automatic
execution and book entry, to Trading Permit Holder and PAR Official
workstations located in the trading crowds for manual handling, and/
or to other order management terminals generally located in booths
on the trading floor for manual handling. Where an order is routed
for processing by the Exchange order handling system depends on
various parameters configured by the Exchange and the order entry
firm itself.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 its rules regarding System access,
connectivity, and testing by Trading Permit Holders. The Exchange makes
available to Trading Permit Holders various application programming
interfaces (``APIs''),\4\ such as CBOE Market Interface (``CMi'') and
Financial Information eXchange (``FIX'') Protocol, for authorized
Trading Permit Holders to use to access the System.\5\ Trading Permit
Holders may select which of these APIs they would like to use to
connect to the System when registering with the Exchange for System
access. The Exchange believes it is important to provide Trading Permit
Holders with this flexibility so that they can determine the API that
will be most compatible with their systems and maximize the efficiency
of their systems' connection to the System. Connection to the System
allows authorized Trading Permit Holders to enter and execute orders,
as well as submit certain order and trade data to the Exchange, which
data the Exchange uses to conduct surveillances of its markets and
Trading Permit Holders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ APIs are computer programs that allow Trading Permit Holders
to interface with the Exchange.
    \5\ Only Trading Permit Holders may access the System. The
Commission adopted Rule 15c3-5 under the Act, which, among other
things, requires broker-dealers providing others with access to an
exchange or alternative trading system to establish, document, and
maintain a system of risk management controls and supervisory
procedures reasonably designed to manage the financial, regulatory,
and other risks of providing such access. See Securities Exchange
Act Release No. 63241 (November 3, 2010), 75 FR 69792 (November 15,
2010). Rule 15c3-5 effectively eliminated ``naked access'' (i.e.
``Sponsored Users'') to the Exchange by non-Trading Permit Holders
and effectively requires Trading Permit Holders to filter all non-
Trading Permit Holder orders prior to being sent to the Exchange.
The Exchange expects to eliminate the concept of Sponsored Users
under its Rules in connection with the adoption of Rule 15c3-5 in a
separate rule filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    After a Trading Permit Holder registers with the Exchange to use a
specific API, the Exchange may require the Trading Permit Holder to use
a specific connectivity protocol that, among other things, may require
the input of certain information (e.g. trading acronym, category of
Trading Permit Holder) during the connectivity process in accordance
with technical specifications established by the Exchange. The Exchange
may prescribe a specific connectivity protocol for all Trading Permit
Holders, or for certain categories of similarly situated Trading Permit
Holders (e.g. Floor Brokers, Designated Primary Market-Makers
(``DPMs''), or Market-Makers).
    It is imperative for the Exchange to receive during the
connectivity process information regarding a Trading Permit Holder's
identification so that the Exchange can ensure that the connecting
party is a Trading Permit Holder authorized to access the System and
that the Exchange is aware of what type of Trading Permit Holder the
connecting party is. Requiring a specific connectivity protocol allows
the Exchange to receive this information in a uniform manner for all
Trading Permit Holders, or categories of similarly situated Trading
Permit Holders, as the Exchange deems necessary. This information
allows the Exchange to, among other things, perform the necessary
surveillances applicable to the Trading Permit Holder and determine
whether the Trading Permit Holder is complying with all relevant
Exchange Rules. Many of the Exchange's surveillances are conducted by
type of Trading Permit Holders, as different types have different
responsibilities they must meet under the Exchange rules.\6\ The
Exchange believes that receiving trade data in an organized and uniform
format from all Trading Permit Holders, or types of Trading Permit
Holders, allows it to efficiently identify Trading Permit Holders and
monitor and conduct surveillances of its markets and Trading Permit
Holder, and thus effectively fulfill its regulatory responsibilities.
Additionally, the Exchange believes that prescribing connectivity
protocols on either all Trading Permit Holders or categories of
similarly situated Trading Permit Holders ensures that the Exchange
makes these prescriptions in an objective manner.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ For example, a DPM must satisfy quoting obligations that are
different than those that a Market-Maker must satisfy, and the
Exchange reviews their quoting activity to determine whether they
have satisfied their respective obligations. See Rule 8.85
(obligations of DPMs) and Rule 8.7 (obligations of Market-Makers).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also periodically requires Trading Permit Holders that
have been authorized to access the System to conduct or participate in
the testing of their computer systems to ascertain the compatibility of
these systems with the System. The Exchange believes that it is
critical that Trading

Permit Holders work closely with the Exchange in testing new software
releases and other System changes. System testing allows the Exchange
to ensure that Trading Permit Holders' systems are continuously
compatible with the System in the event of System changes and that the
Exchange continues to receive all necessary data from Trading Permit
Holders in a timely manner and efficient format. Additionally, System
testing allows Trading Permit Holders to make any necessary adjustments
to their systems in the event of System changes to ensure that their
connections to the System are functioning properly and that they are
able to submit order and trade information in compliance with all
applicable Exchange Rules.
    The Exchange proposes to codify these current Exchange practices
and requirements related to System access and connectivity. Proposed
Rule 6.23A(c) clarifies in the Rules that only Trading Permit Holders
(and their associated persons) may be authorized to access the System
to enter and execute orders. This proposed provision also provides that
the Exchange will require a Trading Permit Holder to enter into a
software user or license agreement with the Exchange in a form or forms
prescribed by the Exchange in order to obtain authorized access to the
System if the Trading Permit Holder elects to use an API for which the
Exchange has determined that this type of an agreement is necessary. In
other words, whether the Exchange requires a Trading Permit Holder to
enter into a user or license agreement will depend solely on the
objective criteria of what type of API the Trading Permit Holder opts
to use.\7\ The proposed rule change also amends Rule 6.23A(a) to
clarify that the term API means application programming interface.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ For example, the Exchange developed CMi and currently
requires all Trading Permit Holders that opt to connect to the
System using CMi to enter into a software license agreement with the
Exchange to use CMi. The Exchange has determined that Trading Permit
Holders that opt to connect to the System using FIX do not currently
have to enter into any type of software user or license agreement,
which is a universally available application for which the developer
does not require a user agreement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Proposed Rule 6.23A(d) provides that the Exchange may prescribe
technical specifications pursuant to which all Trading Permit Holders,
or categories of similarly situated Trading Permit Holders (e.g., Floor
Brokers, DPMs, Market-Makers), may establish an electronic connection
to the System and its facilities. The Exchange will announce to Trading
Permit Holders via Regulatory Circular any connectivity protocol
prescription.
    Proposed Rule 6.23A(e)(i) provides that each Trading Permit Holder
that the Exchange designates as required to participate in a system
test must conduct or participate in the testing of its computer systems
to ascertain the compatibility of such systems with the System in the
manner and frequency prescribed by the Exchange. The Exchange will
designate Trading Permit Holders as required to participate in a system
test based on: (1) The category of the Trading Permit Holder (e.g.
Floor Broker, DPM, Market-Maker); (2) the computer system(s) the
Trading Permit Holder uses; and (3) the manner in which the Trading
Permit Holder connects to the System. The Exchange will give Trading
Permit Holders reasonable notice of any mandatory systems test, which
notice will specify the nature of the test and Trading Permit Holders'
obligations in participation in the test.
    In connection with this mandatory system testing, proposed Rule
6.23A(e)(ii) provides that every Trading Permit Holder required by the
Exchange to conduct or participate in testing of computer systems must
provide to the Exchange any reports relating to the testing as the
Exchange may prescribe. Trading Permit Holders must maintain adequate
documentation of tests required by this Rule and results of this
testing for examination by the Exchange.
    Proposed Rule 6.23A(e)(iii) states that a Trading Permit Holder
that fails to conduct or participate in mandatory systems tests, fails
to file the required reports, or fails to maintain the required
documentation, as required by proposed Rule 6.23A(e)(i) and (ii), may
be subject to summary suspension or other action taken pursuant to
Chapter XVI (Summary Suspension) and/or disciplinary action pursuant to
Chapter XVII (Discipline) of the Exchange Rules. Disciplinary action
may include fines pursuant to proposed Rule 17.50(g)(19), which
provides that Trading Permit Holders that violate proposed Rule
6.23A(e) may be subject to fines under the Exchange's minor rule
violation plan.\8\ As with all other violations in the Exchange's minor
rule violation plan, the Exchange retains the ability to refer a
violation of the system testing requirements to its Business Conduct
Committee should the circumstances warrant such a referral. The
Exchange believes that violations of the proposed mandatory system
testing provision are suitable for its minor rule violation plan
because they are generally technical in nature. Further, including
these violations into the minor rule violation plan will allow the
Exchange to carry out its regulatory responsibilities more quickly and
efficiently.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ These fines are as follows: $250 for the first offense, $500
for the second offense, $1,000 for the third offense, $2,000 for the
fourth offense, and referral to the Business Conduct Committee for
any subsequent offenses. The fines are based on the number of
offenses in one calendar year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change also amends Rule 50.2(a) in the CBOE Stock
Exchange, LLC (``CBSX'') \9\ Rules to clarify that references to
``Hybrid Trading System,'' ``Hybrid System,'' and ``System'' in
Exchange Rules that are applicable to trading on CBSX should be read to
mean ``CBSX System.'' Additionally, the proposed rule change amends
Appendix A to the CBSX Rules to provide that Rule 6.23A(c) through (e)
applies to the trading of equity securities on CBSX. This change
clarifies that the Exchange may similarly require CBSX Trading Permit
Holders, or categories of CBSX Trading Permit Holders (e.g. Remote
Market-Makers), to connect to the Exchange in accordance with a
specific connectivity protocol and to participate in system testing as
the Exchange deems necessary.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ CBSX is a stock trading facility of the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Codification of these requirements gives the Exchange the ability
to discipline any Trading Permit Holders that fail to comply with these
requirements. While Trading Permit Holders generally comply with these
requirements, their inclusion in the Rules (and the resulting potential
for discipline for noncompliance) may enhance Trading Permit Holders'
overall compliance with them.
    Codification of these requirements is also consistent with the
Rules of other exchanges. Proposed Rule 6.23A(c) is substantially
similar to: BATS Exchange, Inc. (``BATS'') Rule 11.3(a); BOX Options
Exchange LLC (``BOX'') Rule 7000(a); EDGA Exchange, Inc. (``EDGA'')
Chapter XI, Rule 11.3(a); EDGX Exchange, Inc. (``EDGX'') Chapter XI,
Rule 11.3(a); International Securities Exchange, LLC (``ISE'') Rule
706(a); NASDAQ Option Market (``NOM'') Chapter V, Section 1(a); NYSE
Arca, Inc. (``NYSE Arca'') Rule 6.2A(a); and NYSE MKT LLC (``NYSE
MKT'') Rule 902.1NY(a). Proposed Rule 6.23A(e) is substantially similar
to: BATS Rule 18.13; BOX Rule 3180; ISE Rule 419; and NOM Chapter III,
Section 13. BOX Rule 12140(d)(7) and ISE Rule 1614(d)(8) also allow
those exchanges to fine their members for violations of their
respective mandatory system provisions

pursuant to their respective minor rule violation plans.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The proposed fine amounts in proposed Rule 17.50(g)(19) are
the same as the fine amounts in the corresponding BOX and ISE rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, proposed Rule 6.23A(c) is consistent with Rule 15c3-1
[sic] under the Act.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See supra note 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the
Exchange and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the
Act.\12\ Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change
is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) requirements that the rules of
an exchange be designed to promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts, to foster
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating,
clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and
to perfect the mechanism for a free and open market and a national
market system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public
interest.\13\ Additionally, the Exchange believes the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) requirement that the
rules of a national securities exchange be designed to not permit
unfair discrimination between customer, issuers, brokers or
dealers.\14\ The Exchange also believes the proposed rule change is
consistent with the Section 6(b)(6) \15\ requirement that the rules of
an exchange provide that its members and persons associated with its
members be appropriately disciplined for violation of the provisions of
the Act, the rules and regulations thereunder, or the rules of the
exchange, by expulsion, suspension, limitation of activities,
functions, and operations, fine, censure, being suspended or barred
from being associated with a member, or any other fitting sanction.

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \14\ Id.
    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change codifies current Exchange requirements
that enhance CBOE's market surveillances and System functionality.
Proposed Rule 6.23A(c) is consistent with Rule 15c3-5 under the Act,
and the Exchange believes the proposed rule change promotes compliance
by Trading Permit Holders with the market access requirements under
that rule. The Exchange believes that proposed Rule 6.23A(d) allows the
Exchange to receive from Trading Permit Holders, or categories of
similarly situated Trading Permit Holders, information in a uniform
format, which aids the Exchange's efforts to monitor and regulate
CBOE's markets and Trading Permit Holders and helps prevent fraudulent
and manipulative practices. This also helps coordinate the ability of
Trading Permit Holders to electronically trade on the Exchange with the
Exchange's ability to receive the necessary information to regulate
those transactions. Proposed Rule 6.23A(e) allows the Exchange to
ensure that Trading Permit Holders' connections to the System function
correctly, which promotes efficiency and enhances compliance by Trading
Permit Holders with Exchange Rules. The proposed changes to the CBSX
Rules clarify for CBSX Trading Permit Holders that they are subject to
and must comply with the requirements in proposed Rule 6.23A.
    In addition, codification of these requirements is consistent with
the Act because it gives the Exchange the ability to discipline Trading
Permit Holders that fail to comply with these requirements, which may
enhance overall Trading Permit Holder compliance with these
requirements. This proposed rule change will also promote consistency
in the minor rule violation programs of other exchanges and allow the
Exchange to carry out its regulatory responsibilities more quickly and
efficiently by including violations of the mandatory system testing
provision in the Exchange's minor rule violation plan.
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is designed to
not permit unfair discrimination among Trading Permit Holders, as the
proposed rule change provides for the Exchange to impose requirements
on Trading Permit Holders in an objective manner. For example, under
proposed Rule 6.23A(d), the Exchange may impose connectivity protocol
requirements on all Trading Permit Holders, or similarly situated
Trading Permit Holders. Additionally, under proposed Rule 6.23A(c),
whether the Exchange requires a Trading Permit Holder to enter into a
software user or license agreement depends solely on what type of API
the Trading Permit Holder opts to use to connect to the System.
    Finally, the proposed rule change will help remove impediments to
and promote a free and open market and a national market system because
it is consistent with rules in place at other exchanges and imposes
substantially similar requirements on Trading Permit Holders as those
rules do on those exchanges' members.

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

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

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

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

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not:
    A. Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest;
    B. impose any significant burden on competition; and
    C. become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was
filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has
become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) \16\ of the Act and
Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \17\ thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \17\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of this 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.

    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

II. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    EPA is printing a summary of a pesticide petition received under
section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21
U.S.C. 346a, proposing the establishment or amendment of regulations in
40 CFR part 180 for residues of the fungicide, oxytetracyline in or on
apples. EPA has determined that this pesticide petition contains data
or information regarding the elements set forth in FFDCA section
408(d)(2); however, EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the
submitted data at this time or whether the data support granting of the
pesticide petition. Additional data may be needed before EPA rules on
this pesticide petition.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of the petition included in
this notice, prepared by the petitioner along with a description of the
analytical method available for the detection and measurement of the
pesticide chemical residues is available on EPA's Electronic Docket at
http://www.regulations.gov. To locate this information on the home page

of EPA's Electronic Docket, select ``Quick Search'' and type the OPP
docket ID number. Once the search has located the docket, clicking on
the ``Docket ID'' will bring up a list of all documents in the docket
for the pesticide including the petition summary.

New Tolerance

     (PP) 7E4855. Interregional Research Project 4 (IR-4), 500
College Rd., East, Princeton, NJ 08540, proposes to establish a
tolerance for residues of the fungicide, oxytetracycline in or on food
commodity apple at 0.35 parts per million (ppm). HWI Method MR-OPAP-MA
with modifications is used to measure and evaluate oxytetracycline
residues. The method is adapted from Pfizer Method STP No. 012.14
entitled Microbiological Agar Diffusion Assy for Oxytetracycline in
Fruit Extract and Hazelton Method OTCF entitled Oxytetracycline in
Feeds which is published in Official Methods of Analysis of the AOAC,
15th Edition as Method 968.50. The method is similar to Final Action
Microbiological Methods I and II in the AOAC Official Methods of
Analysis (1984; 42.293-42.298).

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

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

Extension:
    Rule 701, OMB Control No. 3235-0522, SEC File No. 270-306.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget for extension and approval.
    Rule 701 (17 CFR 230.701) under the Securities Act of 1933
(``Securities Act'') (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) provides an exemption for
certain issuers from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act for limited offerings and sales of securities issued under
compensatory benefit plans or contracts. The purpose of Rule 701 is to
ensure that a basic level of information is available to employees and
others when substantial amounts of securities are issued in
compensatory arrangements. Approximately 300 companies annually rely on
the Rule 701 exemption. The Rule 701 disclosure takes an estimated 2
hours per response to prepare for a total annual burden of 600 hours.
We estimate that 25% of the 2 hours per response (0.5 hours) is
prepared by the company for a total annual reporting burden of 150
hours (0.5 hours per response x 300 responses).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden
imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60
days of this publication.
    Please direct your written comments to Thomas Bayer, Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Remi
Pavlik-Simon, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, Virginia 22312; or
send an e-mail to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
    Dated: November 22, 2010.
Elizabeth M. Murphy,
Secretary.
