17 CFR 232.301 (``Rule 301''). The updated Filer Manual is incorporated
by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations.

I. Background

    The Filer Manual contains information needed for filers to make
submissions on EDGAR. Filers must comply with the applicable provisions
of the Filer Manual in order to assure the timely acceptance and
processing of filings made in electronic format.\1\ Filers must consult
the Filer Manual in conjunction with our rules governing mandated
electronic filings when preparing documents for electronic submission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Rule 301 of Regulation S-T.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. EDGAR System Changes and Associated Modifications to Volume II of
the Filer Manual

    EDGAR is being updated in EDGAR Release 23.2, and corresponding
amendments to Volume II of the Filer Manual are being made to reflect
these changes, as described below.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ EDGAR Release 23.2 will be deployed on June 20, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On December 16, 2020, the Commission adopted 17 CFR 240.13q-1
(``Rule 13q-1'') and an amendment to Form SD pursuant to section 13(q)
of the Exchange Act,\3\ which directs the Commission to issue rules
requiring resource extraction issuers to include in their annual
report, submitted in an interactive data format, information relating
to payments made to a foreign government or the Federal Government for
the purpose of the commercial development of oil, natural gas, or
minerals.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 17 CFR 240.13q-1(d)(1) or (2).
    \4\ Disclosure of Payments by Resource Extraction Issuers,
Release 34-90679 (Dec. 16, 2020) [86 FR 4662 (Jan. 15, 2021)].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with Rule 13q-1 as amended, Forms SD and SD/A will be
updated to allow filers to submit two new exhibit types: Exhibit 2.01--
Resource Extraction Payment Report, as required by Item 2.01 of this
Form; and Exhibit 3.01--Opinion of Counsel, as required by Rule 13q-
1(d)(1) or (2).\5\ Pursuant to the rules, EDGAR requires an Exhibit
2.01 in order to accept a Form SD submission unless a resource
extraction issuer is controlled by another resource extraction issuer
that has submitted a Form SD disclosing the information required by
Item 2.01 for the controlled entity, and the controlled entity submits
a notice on Form SD identifying the controlling entity and the date it
submitted the disclosure. In such cases, the reporting controlling
entity must note that it is submitting the required disclosure for a
controlled entity and must identify the controlled entity on its Form
SD submission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Form SD already required submission of Exhibit 1.01--
Conflict Minerals Report--as required by Items 1.01 and 1.02 of this
Form.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In conjunction with the amendment, the taxonomy for Resource
Extraction Payments (RXP) and Sub-national Jurisdiction (SNJ) for Form
SD is updated to address the new tagging requirements.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Filer Manual, Volume II, Sections 6.5.58, 6.14.10, 6.16.14,
and 6.24.23.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EDGAR Release 23.2 also makes general functional enhancements to
EDGAR, for which revisions are made to the Filer Manual as described
below.
    The EDGAR system is being updated to support the 2023 versions of
the following taxonomies:
     Open End Fund (OEF) for Forms N-CSR, N-CSRS, and N-1A; \7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Filer Manual, Volume II, Sections 6.5.57, 6.14.9, and
6.16.13.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS);
     U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
Financial Reporting;
     SEC Reporting taxonomy; and
     Other XBRL taxonomies accepted in EDGAR.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Filer Manual, Volume II, Section 6.22 refers to the SEC.gov
web page that contains a complete list of supported taxonomies and
accompanying information, https://www.sec.gov/info/edgar/edgartaxonomies.shtml.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EDGAR will no longer accept the 2021 versions of taxonomies (all
taxonomies currently accepted in EDGAR including the quarterly releases
in 2021). Further, the version of all taxonomies within a submission
must now be from the same year (including quarterly releases).
    In addition, as part of the upcoming EDGAR Release 23.2, we plan to
remove the following content from Volume II of the Filer Manual:
     List of prior EDGAR releases (pp. xvi to xxvi of the
current version)--this information is available on the SEC's Rulemaking
Index on SEC.gov at https://

www.sec.gov/rules/rulemaking-index.shtml;
     Chapter 10 (Determining the Status of Your Filing)--this
information will be moved to the EDGAR-Information for Filers web page
on SEC.gov at https://www.sec.gov/edgar/filer-information; and
     Appendix B (EDGAR--Information for Filers)--this
information will be incorporated in the text of Volume II of the Filer
Manual, ``2.3--General Information for Filers.''

Minor Update To Improve Payment Information in Filer's EDGAR Account

    On April 17, 2023, EDGAR Release 23.1.1 introduced a change related
to the Processing of Debit/Credit Card Cash Receipts. The ``Retrieve
Balance Information'' screen was updated to reflect the processing of
pay.gov payments in real time. The ``Account Balance'' field now
displays credit/debit card payments within 15 minutes of payment
confirmation. The ``Amount of Last Deposit'' and ``Date of Last
Deposit'' fields were also updated accordingly.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ This minor update was made in EDGAR Release 23.1.1 on Apr.
17, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minor Corrections to EDGAR Filer Manual

    Sections <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> of the EDGAR Filer Manual Volume II
were edited to add tags that identify potential problems that could
cause Blind XSS payload issues. When a filer uploads an htm file as an
attachment with any of these tags, EDGAR will reject the document as
``Invalid Content.'' \10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ Technical corrections to Volume II were made in EDGAR
Update 23.0.1.ul on Feb. 16, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, revisions have been made in EDGAR Filer Manual Volume II
at sections 6.5.40, 6.5.56 and 6.12.10 to correct errors from the
previous Release 23.1 changes.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ Text corrections to Volume II were made in EDGAR Release
23.1.1 on Apr. 17, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Amendments to Rule 301 of Regulation S-T

    Along with the adoption of the updated Filer Manual, we are
amending Rule 301 of Regulation S-T to provide for the incorporation by
reference into the Code of Federal Regulations of the current
revisions. This incorporation by reference was approved by the Director
of the Federal Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR
part 51.
    The updated EDGAR Filer Manual is available at https://www.sec.gov/edgar/filerinformation/current-edgar-filer-manual.

IV. Administrative Law Matters

    Because the Filer Manual and rule amendments relate solely to
agency procedures or practice and do not substantially alter the rights
and obligations of non-agency parties, publication for notice and
comment is not required under the Administrative Procedure Act
(``APA'').\12\ It follows that the amendments do not require analysis
under requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act \13\ or a report
to Congress under the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness
Act of 1996.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A).
    \13\ 5 U.S.C. 601 through 612.
    \14\ 5 U.S.C. 804(3)(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The effective date for the updated Filer Manual and related rule
amendments is July 18, 2023. In accordance with the APA,\15\ we find
that there is good cause to establish an effective date less than 30
days after publication of these rules. The Commission believes that
establishing an effective date less than 30 days after publication of
these rules is necessary to coordinate the effectiveness of the updated
Filer Manual with the related system upgrades.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

V. Statutory Basis

    We are adopting the amendments to Regulation S-T under the
authority in sections 6, 7, 8, 10, and 19(a) of the Securities Act of
1933,\16\ sections 3, 12, 13, 14, 15, 15B, 23 and 35A of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934,\17\ section 319 of the Trust Indenture Act of
1939,\18\ and sections 8, 30, 31, and 38 of the Investment Company Act
of 1940.\19\

Triadimenol; Notice of Receipt of a Request to Voluntarily Cancel
and Amend to Terminate Uses of Triadimenol Pesticide Registrations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, EPA is issuing a
notice of receipt of a request by the registrant to voluntarily cancel
and amend their registrations to terminate use of certain products
containing the pesticide triadimenol. The request would terminate
triadimenol use in or on sorghum (forage, hay and grain stover). The
request would not terminate the last triadimenol product(s) registered
for use in the United States. EPA intends to grant this request at the
close of the comment period for this announcement unless the Agency
receives substantive comments within the comment period that would
merit its further review of the request, or unless the registrant
withdraws its request within this period. Upon acceptance of this
request, any sale, distribution, or use of products listed in this
notice will be permitted only if such sale, distribution, or use is
consistent with the terms as described in the final order.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before December 22, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human
health, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry; pesticide
users; and members of the public interested in the sale, distribution,
or use of pesticides. Since others also may be interested, the Agency
has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be
affected by this action. If you have any questions regarding the
applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

     1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
     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. Background on the Receipt of Request to Amend Registrations to
Delete Uses

    This notice announces receipt by EPA of a request from the
technical registrant Bayer CropScience to terminate certain uses for
triadimenol. Triadimenol is a systemic fungicide used as a seed
treatment for barley, corn, cotton, oats, rye, sorghum, and wheat.
Additionally, an import tolerance on bananas exists. In a letter dated
October 30, 2006, Bayer CropScience requested EPA to terminate certain
uses for the products containing the pesticide triadimenol identified
in this notice (Table 1). Specifically, the registrant has agreed to
voluntarily cancel all use of triadimenol on sorghum. The registrant's
request for this use deletion will not terminate the last triadimenol
products registered in the United States, or the last pesticide
products registered in the United States for this use.

III. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    This notice announces receipt by EPA of a request from a registrant
to amend and to terminate certain uses of triadimenol product
registrations. The affected products and the registrant making the
request are identified in Tables 1 and 2 of this unit.
    Under section 6(f)(1)(A) of FIFRA, registrants may request, at any
time, that their pesticide registrations be canceled or amended to
terminate one or more pesticide uses. Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA
requires that before acting on a request for voluntary cancellation,
EPA must provide a 30-day public comment period on the request for
voluntary cancellation or use termination. In addition, section
6(f)(1)(C) of FIFRA requires that EPA provide a 180-day comment period
on a request for voluntary cancellation or termination of any minor
agricultural use before granting the request, unless:
    1. The registrants request a waiver of the comment period, or
    2. The Administrator determines that continued use of the pesticide
would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.
    The triadimenol registrant has agreed to waive the 180-day comment
period. EPA will provide a 30-day comment period on the proposed
request.
    Unless the request is withdrawn by the registrant within 30 days of
publication of this notice, or the Agency determines that there are
substantive comments that warrant further review of this request, an
order will be issued amending the affected registrations

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

IV. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a pesticide
product may at any time request that any of its pesticide registrations
be canceled or amended to terminate one or more uses. FIFRA further
provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice
of receipt of any such request in the Federal Register. Thereafter,
following the public comment period, the Administrator may approve such
a request.

V. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request and Considerations for
Reregistration of Triadimenol

    Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation must
submit

such withdrawal in writing to the person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked before December 22, 2006. This written
withdrawal of the request for cancellation will apply only to the
applicable FIFRA section 6(f)(1) request listed in this notice. If the
products(s) have been subject to a previous cancellation action, the
effective date of cancellation and all other provisions of any earlier
cancellation action are controlling.

VI. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
which are currently in the United States and which were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
cancellation action.
    If the request for voluntary cancellation and use termination is
granted as discussed above, the Agency intends to issue a cancellation
order that will allow persons other than the registrant to continue to
sell and/or use existing stocks of cancelled products until such stocks
are exhausted, provided that such use is consistent with the terms of
the previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the cancelled
product. The order will specifically prohibit any use of existing
stocks that is not consistent with such previously approved labeling.
If, as the Agency currently intends, the final cancellation order
contains the existing stocks provision just described, the order will
be sent only to the affected registrants of the cancelled products. If
the Agency determines that the final cancellation order should contain
existing stocks provisions different than the ones just described, the
Agency will publish the cancellation order in the Federal Register.

Amendment 39-18008; AD 2014-22-03]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Various Restricted Category Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2012-14-11 for
Arrow Falcon Exporters, Inc. (AFE), Rotorcraft Development

Corporation (RDC), and San Joaquin Helicopters (SJH) Model OH-58A, OH-
58A+, and OH-58C helicopters. AD 2012-14-11 required inspecting the
main rotor mast (mast) for a crack. This new AD expands the mast
inspection area, changes the inspection to a repetitive inspection, and
removes the reporting requirement. The actions in this AD are intended
to prevent failure of the mast and subsequent loss of control of the
helicopter.

DATES: This AD is effective December 19, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to remove AD 2012-14-11, Amendment 39-17125 (77 FR 42971, July
23, 2012) and add a new AD. AD 2012-14-11 applied to AFE, RDC, and SJH
Model OH-58A, OH-58A+, and OH-58C helicopters and required overhauling
the mast and performing magnetic particle, fluorescent penetrant, and
visual inspections for a crack, pitting, or corrosion in the threaded
area of the mast and associated parts. AD 2012-14-11 also required
replacing the mast and reporting the results of the inspections if any
crack, pitting, or corrosion was found. AD 2012-14-11 was prompted by
two mast failures caused by fatigue cracking and was intended to
prevent failure of the mast and subsequent loss of control of the
helicopter.
    The NPRM published in the Federal Register on June 2, 2014 (79 FR
31233) and proposed retaining the mast inspection and overhaul
requirements of AD 2012-14-11, while changing the compliance time for
the inspection from within 30 days to within 90 days, repeating the
inspection every 1,200 hours TIS or 3 years, expanding the inspection
area, and removing the reporting requirement.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD, but we did not receive any comments on the NPRM (79 FR 31233,
June 2, 2014).

FAA's Determination

    We have reviewed the relevant information and determined that an
unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other
helicopters of these same type designs and that air safety and the
public interest require adopting the AD requirements as proposed.

Related Service Information

    AFE issued Alert Service Bulletin (ASB): 2012-58-01, Revision 1,
dated February 20, 2012 (ASB 2012-58-01), which specifies overhauling
and inspecting the mast for any cracks, pitting, or corrosion by
following the procedures in the United States Army Aviation Unit and
Intermediate Maintenance Manual TM55-1520-228-23. ASB 2012-58-01
further specifies replacing any mast with a crack, pitting, or
corrosion beyond surface rust that is removed with a wire brush or
steel wool in the threaded portion of the mast.
    RDC has issued ASB No. OH-58-13-01, dated January 30, 2013, which
describes additional procedures for inspecting the mast and establishes
an overhaul interval of 1,200 hours TIS or 3 years, whichever occurs
first.

Differences Between This AD and the Service Information

    The service information does not apply to SJH helicopters. Those
helicopters are included in this AD because they have the same mast
design and are operated similarly to the AFE and RDC fleets.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 80 helicopters of U.S. Registry
and that operators will incur the following costs in order to comply
with this AD. At an average labor rate of $85 per hour, inspecting the
mast requires about 20 work hours, for a total cost of $1,700 per
helicopter, and a total cost to the U.S. operator fleet of $136,000.
Replacing a cracked main rotor mast requires about 20 work hours, and
required parts cost $11,891, for a total cost per helicopter of
$13,591.

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 have determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.

    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent
that a regulatory distinction is required, 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.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-81596; File No. SR-BatsEDGX-2017-37]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Bats EDGX Exchange, Inc.; Notice
of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To
Amend Rule 11.11, Routing to Away Trade Centers, To Account for IEX as
a Primary Listing Market and To Amend Certain Rules To Reflect the Name
Change of NYSE MKT to NYSE American

September 13, 2017.
    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 September 6, 2017, Bats EDGX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange''
or ``EDGX'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Exchange
has designated this proposal as a ``non-controversial'' proposed rule
change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder,\4\ which renders it effective upon filing with
the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

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

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

    The Exchange filed a proposal to amend paragraphs (g)(8) and
(g)(14) of Rule 11.11, Routing to Away Trade Centers, to expand the
ability of Users \5\ to designate their orders for participation in the
opening, re-opening (following a halt, suspension, or pause), or
closing process of a primary listing market other than the Exchange
(NYSE, Nasdaq, NYSE MKT, or NYSE Arca) to include the Investors
Exchange LLC (``IEX''). The Exchange also proposes to amend paragraphs
(g)(8) and (g)(14) of Rule 11.11 as well as Rules 11.7(c)(1) and
13.4(a) to reflect the name change of NYSE MKT to NYSE American.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The term ``User'' is defined as ``any Member or Sponsored
Participant who is authorized to obtain access to the System
pursuant to Rule 11.3.'' See Exchange Rule 1.5(ee).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
Web site at www.bats.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 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 parts of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    Exchange Rule 11.11(g)(8) describes the ROOC routing option, under
which Users may designate their orders for participation in the opening
or closing process, in addition to the re-opening (following a halt,
suspension, or pause), of a primary listing market other than the
Exchange, if received before the opening/re-opening/closing time of
such market.\6\ Under Exchange Rule 11.11(g)(8), Users may also elect
that their orders be routed to participate in the primary market's re-
opening process, and not its opening or closing processes. Any
remaining shares are either posted to the EDGX Book,\7\ executed, or
routed to destinations on the System routing table.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Exchange Rule 11.11(g)(8).
    \7\ The term ``EDGX Book'' is defined as ``the System's
electronic file of orders.'' See Exchange Rule 1.5(d).
    \8\ The term ``System routing table'' refers to the proprietary
process for determining the specific options exchanges to which the
System routes orders and the order in which it routes them. See
Exchange Rule 11.11(g).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    IEX announced that it intends to become a primary listing exchange
and support IEX-listed companies beginning in October 2017.\9\ At that
time, the Exchange will enable Users to elect that their orders in IEX-
listed securities be routed to IEX to participate in IEX's opening, re-
opening (following a halt, suspension, or pause), or closing

process. Therefore, the Exchange proposes to amend paragraphs (g)(8)
and (g)(14) of Rule 11.11 to include IEX as a primary listing market to
which Users may designate their orders be routed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See IEX Trading Alert #2017-05, Listing Specifications,
Testing Opportunities, and Timelines, available at https://iextrading.com/trading/alerts/2017/015/. See also Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 81316 (August 4, 2017), 82 FR 37474 (August
10, 2017) (SR-IEX-2017-10) (Order approving proposed rule change
related in auctions in IEX-listed securities, dissemination of
auction-related data, and provisions governing trading halts and
pauses).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also proposes non-substantive amendments to paragraphs
(g)(8) and (g)(14) of Rule 11.11 as well as Rules 11.7(c)(1) and
13.4(a)to reflect the name change of NYSE MKT to NYSE American \10\ as
well as to reflect the name change of BATS Exchange, Inc. to Bats BZX
Exchange, Inc. as proposed in a previous filing.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80283 (March 21,
2017), 82 FR 15244 (March 27, 2017) (SR-NYSEMKT-2017-14).
    \11\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 77307 (March 7,
2016), 81 FR 12996 (February 26, 2016) (SR-BATS-2016-25).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act \12\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act \13\ in particular, in that it is designed 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 mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest. As discussed above, IEX
announced that it intends to become a primary listing exchange and
support IEX-listed companies beginning in October 2017.\14\ Certain
Users whose orders in IEX-listed securities are resting on the EDGX
Book may wish that their order only be routed to participate in IEX's
opening, closing, or re-opening process. The proposed rule changes
promote just and equitable principles of trade because they would
provide such Users with additional flexibility with regard to their
orders in IEX-listed securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \14\ See supra note 9.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The non-substantive amendments to paragraphs (g)(8) and (g)(14) of
Rule 11.11 as well as Rules 11.7(c)(1) and 13.4(a) to reflect the name
change of NYSE MKT to NYSE American and BATS Exchange, Inc. to Bats BZX
Exchange, Inc. also removes impediments to and perfect the mechanism of
a free and open market and a national market system because it updates
the rule to reflect the name change and does not alter the way in which
orders in NYSE American listed securities are handled and routed.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposal will impose any
burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act. The Exchange believes that its proposal would
