SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-72807; File No. SR-Phlx-2014-52]

 Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Relating to
the Customer Rebate Program

August 11, 2014.
    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 August 1, 2014, NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC (``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or ``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.

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend the Customer Rebate Program in
Section B of the Pricing Schedule.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://nasdaqomxphlx.cchwallstreet.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 aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend the ``Customer Rebate Program,'' in
Section B of the Pricing Schedule to provide that the Category B rebate
will not be paid when an electronically-delivered Customer Complex
Order \3\ executes against another electronically-delivered Customer
Complex Order. The Exchange believes that Customer Complex Order to
Customer Complex Order transactions are rare and no longer believes
that offering rebates pursuant to Section B for this scenario is
necessary to attract Customer Complex Orders to the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ A Complex Order is any order involving the simultaneous
purchase and/or sale of two or more different options series in the
same underlying security, priced at a net debit or credit based on
the relative prices of the individual components, for the same
account, for the purpose of executing a particular investment
strategy. Furthermore, a Complex Order can also be a stock-option
order, which is an order to buy or sell a stated number of units of
an underlying stock or exchange-traded fund (``ETF'') coupled with
the purchase or sale of options contract(s). See Exchange Rule 1080,
Commentary .08(a)(i).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently, the Exchange has a Customer Rebate Program consisting of
five tiers that pays Customer rebates on two Categories, A \4\ and
B,\5\ of transactions.\6\ A Phlx member qualifies for a certain rebate
tier based on the percentage of total national customer volume in
multiply-listed options that it transacts monthly on Phlx. The Exchange
calculates Customer volume in Multiply Listed Options by totaling
electronically-delivered and executed volume, exclude volume associated
with electronic Qualified Contingent Cross (``QCC'') Orders,\7\ as
defined in

Exchange Rule 1080(o).\8\ The Exchange pays the following rebates: \9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Category A rebates are paid to members executing
electronically-delivered Customer Simple Orders in Penny Pilot
Options and Customer Simple Orders in Non-Penny Pilot Options in
Section II symbols. Rebates are paid on Customer PIXL Orders in
Section II symbols that execute against non-Initiating Order
interest. In the instance where member organizations qualify for
Tier 4 or higher in the Customer Rebate Program, Customer PIXL
Orders that execute against a PIXL Initiating Order will be paid a
rebate of $0.14 per contract.
    \5\ Category B rebates are paid to members executing
electronically-delivered Customer Complex Orders in Penny Pilot
Options and Non-Penny Pilot Options in Section II symbols. Rebates
are paid on Customer PIXL Complex Orders in Section II symbols that
execute against non-Initiating Order interest. In the instance where
member organizations qualify for Tier 4 or higher in the Customer
Rebate Program, Customer Complex PIXL Orders that execute against a
Complex PIXL Initiating Order will be paid a rebate of $0.17 per
contract.
    \6\ See Section B of the Pricing Schedule.
    \7\ A QCC Order is comprised of an order to buy or sell at least
1000 contracts that is identified as being part of a qualified
contingent trade, as that term is defined in Rule 1080(o)(3),
coupled with a contra-side order to buy or sell an equal number of
contracts. The QCC Order must be executed at a price at or between
the National Best Bid and Offer and be rejected if a Customer order
is resting on the Exchange book at the same price. A QCC Order shall
only be submitted electronically from off the floor to the PHLX XL
II System. See Rule 1080(o). See also Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 64249 (April 7, 2011), 76 FR 20773 (April 13, 2011) (SR-
Phlx-2011-47) (a rule change to establish a QCC Order to facilitate
the execution of stock/option Qualified Contingent Trades (``QCTs'')
that satisfy the requirements of the trade through exemption in
connection with Rule 611(d) of the Regulation NMS).
    \8\ Members and member organizations under common ownership may
aggregate their Customer volume for purposes of calculating the
Customer Rebate Tiers and receiving rebates. Common ownership means
members or member organizations under 75% common ownership or
control.
    \9\ SPY is included in the calculation of Customer volume in
Multiply Listed Options that are electronically-delivered and
executed for purposes of the Customer Rebate Program, however, the
rebates do not apply to electronic executions in SPY.

Tier 5........................................  Above 2.50%.....................            0.17            0.19
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Today, the Exchange pays Category B rebates to members executing
electronically-delivered Customer Complex Orders in Penny Pilot Options
and Non-Penny Pilot Options in Section II symbols. The Exchange
proposes to exclude electronically-delivered Customer Complex Orders
that execute against another electronically-delivered Customer Complex
Orders from the Category B rebates.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,\10\ in general, and with
Section 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,\11\ in particular, in that it
provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and
other charges among members and issuers and other persons using any
facility or system that the Exchange operates or controls, and is not
designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers,
brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange's proposal to not pay a Category B rebate when an
electronically-delivered Customer Complex Order executes against
another electronically-delivered Customer Complex Order is reasonable
because the Exchange does not believe it is necessary to pay rebates on
Customer orders in the above scenario to attract Customer Complex
Orders to the Exchange for execution. Further, the instances of
electronically-delivered Customer Complex Orders that execute against
other electronically-delivered Customer Complex Orders is rare and the
Exchange believes it is reasonable to not incur negative revenue
scenarios for Complex Orders as would be the case with the above
described transaction. Also, the Exchange does not feel that the
Customer rebate incentive brings a greater number of Customer orders as
a result of this incentive and therefore desires to exclude these types
of transactions from the Category B rebate.
    The Exchange's proposal to not pay a Category B rebate when an
electronically-delivered Customer Complex Order executes against
another electronically-delivered Customer Complex Order is equitable
and not unfairly discriminatory because no market participant would be
entitled to a Category B rebate for these type of transactions.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose an undue burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange believes that the
Customer Rebate Program will continue to encourage Customer order flow
to be directed to the Exchange. While market participants will be
encouraged to transact a greater number of Customer orders to qualify
for a rebate, the Exchange does not believe the current rebate
incentivizes a greater number of Customer Complex Orders executing
against other electronically-delivered Customer Complex Orders on Phlx.
The Exchange's proposal to not pay a Category B rebate on Customer
Complex Orders executing against other electronically-delivered
Customer Complex Orders will not impose an undue burden on competition
because no market participant would be entitled to a Category B rebate
for these type of transactions.
    The Exchange operates in a highly competitive market, comprised of
twelve options exchanges, in which market participants can easily and
readily direct order flow to competing venues if they deem fee levels
at a particular venue to be excessive or rebates to be inadequate.
Accordingly, the fees that are assessed and the rebates paid by the
Exchange described in the above proposal are influenced by these robust
market forces and therefore must remain competitive with fees charged
and rebates paid by other venues and therefore must continue to be
reasonable and equitably allocated to those members that opt to direct
orders to the Exchange rather than competing venues.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act.\12\ At any time within 60 days of the
filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may
temporarily suspend such rule change if it appears to the Commission
that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest,
for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the
proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

DC. The telephone number for the Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>. For
additional information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: Owners and operators of large household and commercial
appliance surface coating facilities are required to comply with
reporting and record keeping requirements for the General Provisions
(40 CFR part 63, subpart A), as well as for the applicable specific
standards in 40 CFR part 63 subpart NNNN. This includes submitting
initial notifications, performance tests and periodic reports and
results, maintaining records of materials usage, and any period during
which the add-on control system is inoperative. These reports are used
by EPA to determine compliance with these standards.
    Form Numbers: 5900-564.
    Respondents/affected entities: Existing and new facilities that
perform surface coating of large household and commercial appliances.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart NNNN).
    Estimated number of respondents: 10 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 4,380 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $524,000 (per year), which includes $6,350 in
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in burden from the
most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory
of Approved Burdens. This ICR

incorporates the incremental burden from recent amendments to the rule
as part of a Risk and Technology Review (RTR) in July 8, 2020 (85 FR
41100). The prior RTR amendments removed the excess emission and SSM
reporting requirements, resulting in a small decrease in burden hours.
The prior RTR amendments also adjusted an error in the previously
approved ICR and corrected the burden hours to record and disclose
information to two hours per week, which is reflected in this ICR as an
increase in burden. The growth rate for this industry is non-existent,
with no new respondents expected.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

[Docket No. NHTSA-2008-0185; Notice 2]

China Manufacturers Alliance, LLC, Grant of Petition for Decision
of Inconsequential Noncompliance

    China Manufacturers Alliance, LLC (CMA), as importer of record for
Dynacargo brand truck and bus radial tires manufactured by Shandong
Jinyu Tyre Company Limited (Jinyu) has determined that certain tires
manufactured during the period May 2007 through June 2008 do not fully
comply with paragraph S6.5(d) of 49 CFR 571.119 Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 119, New Pneumatic Tires for Motor Vehicles
With a GVWR of More than 4,536 Kilograms (10,000 pounds) and
Motorcycles. The affected tires were imported by CMA and sold to
American Tire Distributors (ATD). CMA has filed an appropriate report
pursuant to 49 CFR Part 573, Defect and Noncompliance Responsibility
and Reports.
    Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) (see implementing rule
at 49 CFR part 556), CMA has petitioned for an exemption from the
notification and remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 on the
basis that this noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle
safety. Notice of receipt of the petition was published, with a 30-day
public comment period, on December 19, 2008, in the Federal Register
(73 FR 77873). No comments were received. To view the petition and all
supporting documents log onto the Federal Docket Management System Web
site at: http:// www.regulations.gov/. Then follow the online search
instructions to locate docket number ``NHTSA-2008-0185.''
    For further information on this decision, contact Mr. George
Gillespie, Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance, the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>,
facsimile<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Affected are approximately 2,537 size 235/75R17.5/16 Dynacargo
brand load range H truck and bus tires manufactured during the period
May 2007 through June 2008 with DOT date codes in the range 1407
through 2608. 1,153 \1\ of these tires are currently under the control
of ATD and 1,384 have been sold to consumers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ CMA's petition, which was filed under 49 CFR Part 556,
requests an agency decision to exempt CMA as importer from the
notification and recall responsibilities of 49 CFR Part 573 for all
2,537 of the affected tires. However, the agency cannot relieve ATD
as distributer of the prohibitions on the sale, offer for sale, or
introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce
of the noncompliant tires currently under its control. Those tires
must be brought into conformance, exported, or destroyed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Paragraph S6.5(d) of 49 CFR 571.119 requires in pertinent part:

    S6.5 Tire markings. Except as specified in this paragraph, each
tire shall be marked on each sidewall with the information specified
in paragraphs (a) through (j) of this section. The markings shall be
placed between the maximum section width (exclusive of sidewall
decorations or curb ribs) and the bead on at least one sidewall,
unless the maximum section width of the tire is located in an area
which is not more than one-fourth of the distance from the bead to
the shoulder of the tire. If the maximum section width falls within
that area, the markings shall appear between the bead and a point
one-half the distance from the bead to the shoulder of the tire, on
at least one sidewall. The

markings shall be in letters and numerals not less than 2 mm (0.078
inch) high and raised above or sunk below the tire surface not less
that 0.4 mm (0.015 inch), except that the marking depth shall be not
less than 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) in the case of motorcycle tires. The
tire identification and the DOT symbol labeling shall comply with
part 574 of this chapter. Markings may appear on only one sidewall
and the entire sidewall area may be used in the case of motorcycle
tires and recreational, boat, baggage, and special trailer tires * *
*
    (d) The maximum load rating and corresponding inflation pressure
of the tire, shown as follows:
    (Mark on tires rated for single and dual load): Max load single
----kg (----lb) at ----kPa (----psi) cold. Max load dual ----kg (--
--lb) at ----kPa (----psi) cold.
    (Mark on tires rated only for single load): Max load ----kg (--
--lb) at ----kPa (----psi) cold.

    CMA explained that the subject tires are marketed with the correct
maximum load rating and corresponding inflation pressure in both
English and Metric units. The affected tires have English units on one
sidewall and Metric units on the other sidewall. The noncompliance
being that both English and Metric units do not both appear on each
sidewall.
    CMA stated that it believes the noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety because correct maximum load rating and
corresponding inflation pressure information is marked on each tire in
both English and Metric units. Therefore, that information is readily
available to anyone who uses the tires.
    CMA requested that NHTSA consider its petition and grant an
exemption from the recall requirements of the National Traffic and
Motor Vehicle Safety Act on the basis that the noncompliance described
above is inconsequential as it relates to motor vehicle safety.

NHTSA Decision

    The agency agrees with CMA that the noncompliance is
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. The agency believes that the
true measure of inconsequentiality to motor vehicle safety in this case
is that there is no effect on the operational safety of vehicles on
which these tires are mounted.
    While the correct tire inflation pressure is included on the
subject tire sidewalls, it is not marked in both English and Metric
unit systems on each sidewall as required by S6.5(d). However, because
the tire inflation pressure is available and stated correctly on each
tire, in each unit system, albeit separately, it is unlikely that a
consumer will not find or will misread pressure units due to the
noncompliance. Therefore, the tires, as labeled, are likely to achieve
the safety purpose of the standard. In the agency's judgment, the
subject incorrect labeling of the tire inflation pressure information
will have an inconsequential effect on motor vehicle safety.
    In consideration of the foregoing, NHTSA has decided that CMA has
met its burden of persuasion that the subject FMVSS No. 119 labeling
noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. Accordingly,
CMA's petition is granted and the petitioner is exempted from the
obligation of providing notification of, and a remedy for, the subject
