Certain New Chemicals or Significant New Uses; Statements of
Findings for February 2021

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires EPA to
publish in the Federal Register a statement of its findings after its
review of certain TSCA notices when EPA makes a finding that a new
chemical substance or significant new use is not likely to present an
unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. Such
statements apply to premanufacture notices (PMNs), microbial commercial
activity notices (MCANs), and significant new use notices (SNUNs)
submitted to EPA under TSCA. This document presents statements of
findings made by EPA on such submissions during the period from
February 1, 2021 to February 28, 2021.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
    For technical information contact: Rebecca Edelstein, New Chemicals
Division (7405M), Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics,

information on EPA/DC services and docket access, visit https://www.epa.gov/dockets.

II. What action is the Agency taking?

    This document lists the statements of findings made by EPA after
review of notices submitted under TSCA section 5(a) that certain new
chemical substances or significant new uses are not likely to present
an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. This
document presents statements of findings made by EPA during the period
from February 1, 2021 to February 28, 2021.

III. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    TSCA section 5(a)(3) requires EPA to review a TSCA section 5(a)
notice and make one of the following specific findings:
     The chemical substance or significant new use presents an
unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment;
     The information available to EPA is insufficient to permit
a reasoned evaluation of the health and environmental effects of the
chemical substance or significant new use;
     The information available to EPA is insufficient to permit
a reasoned evaluation of the health and environmental effects and the
chemical substance or significant new use may present an unreasonable
risk of injury to health or the environment;
     The chemical substance is or will be produced in
substantial quantities, and such substance either enters or may
reasonably be anticipated to enter the environment in substantial
quantities or there is or may be significant or substantial human
exposure to the substance; or
     The chemical substance or significant new use is not
likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the
environment.
    These findings must be made without consideration of costs or other
non-risk factors, including an unreasonable risk to a potentially
exposed or susceptible subpopulation identified as relevant under the
conditions of use. The term ``conditions of use'' is defined in TSCA
section 3 to mean ``the circumstances, as determined by the
Administrator, under which a chemical substance is intended, known, or
reasonably foreseen to be manufactured, processed, distributed in
commerce, used, or disposed of.''
    EPA is required under TSCA section 5(g) to publish in the Federal
Register a statement of its findings after its review of a TSCA section
5(a) notice when EPA makes a finding that a new chemical substance or
significant new use is not likely to present an unreasonable risk of
injury to health or the environment. Such statements apply to PMNs,
MCANs, and SNUNs submitted to EPA under TSCA section 5.
    Anyone who plans to manufacture (which includes import) a new
chemical substance for a non-exempt commercial purpose and any
manufacturer or processor wishing to engage in a use of a chemical
substance designated by EPA as a significant new use must submit a
notice to EPA at least 90 days before commencing manufacture of the new
chemical substance or before engaging in the significant new use.
    The submitter of a notice to EPA for which EPA has made a finding
of ``not likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or
the environment'' may commence manufacture of the chemical substance or
manufacture or processing for the significant new use notwithstanding
any remaining portion of the applicable review period.

IV. Statements of Administrator Findings Under TSCA Section 5(a)(3)(C)

    In this unit, EPA provides the following information (to the extent
that such information is not claimed as Confidential Business
Information (CBI)) on the PMNs, MCANs and SNUNs for which, during this
period, EPA has made findings under TSCA

section 5(a)(3)(C) that the new chemical substances or significant new
uses are not likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury to health
or the environment:
     EPA case number assigned to the TSCA section 5(a) notice.
     Chemical identity (generic name if the specific name is
claimed as CBI).
     website address to EPA's decision document describing the
basis of the ``not likely to present an unreasonable risk'' finding
made by EPA under TSCA section 5(a)(3)(C).

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Airbus Model A318, A319, and A320 series airplanes. This proposed AD
was prompted by fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer,
which revealed that certain fuel pumps under certain conditions can
create an ignition source in the fuel tank. This proposed AD would
require modification of the center tank fuel pump control circuit by
installation of ground fault interrupters (GFIs). This proposed AD
would also require either replacement of the GFI or deactivation of the
associated fuel pump following failure of any post-modification
operational test of the GFI. We are proposing this AD to prevent the
potential of ignition sources inside fuel tanks, which, in combination
with flammable fuel vapors, could result in fuel tank explosions and
consequent loss of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by December 7,
2012.

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

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued
Airworthiness Directive 2012-0198, dated September 26, 2012 (which
superseded EASA AD 2012-0133, dated July 18, 2012) (referred to after
this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:
    * * * The FAA published Special Federal Aviation Regulation
(SFAR) 88, and the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) published
Interim Policy INT/POL/25/12.
    In the framework of these requirements, EASA have determined
that the electrical power supply circuits of certain fuel pumps,
installed on A320 family aeroplanes, for which the canisters become
uncovered during normal operation, could, under certain conditions,
create an ignition source in the tank vapour space.
    This condition, if not corrected, could result in a fuel tank
explosion and consequent loss of the aeroplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Airbus developed a
modification which includes installing Ground Fault Interrupters
(GFI) into the centre tank fuel pump control circuit, providing
additional system protection by electrically isolating the pump in
case of a ground fault condition downstream of the GFI.
    Consequently, EASA issued AD 2012-0133 to require modification
of the centre tank fuel

pump control circuit by installing GFI and thereafter, in case a GFI
failed an operational test, replacement of the faulty GFI, or
deactivation of the associated fuel pump in accordance with the
provisions of the applicable Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL).
    Since that [EASA] AD was issued, it was noted that,
inadvertently, the Applicability of the Final AD was incorrect (the
preceding PAD [proposed AD] 12-051 was correct) by excluding
aeroplanes on which Airbus modification 150736 has been embodied in
production. As a result, the required actions when a GFI fails an
operational test did not apply to those aeroplanes.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements [modification of the centre tank fuel pump control
circuit by installing GFI] of EASA AD 2012-0133, which is
superseded, and expands the Applicability to aeroplanes on which
Airbus modification 150736 has been embodied in production.

The required actions also include either replacement of the GFI or
deactivation of the associated fuel pump following failure of any post-
modification operational test of the GFI. You may obtain further
information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Airbus has issued Service Bulletin A320-28-1188, dated March 23,
2012. The actions described in this service information are intended to
correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

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

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 755 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it would take about 11 work-hours per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $85 per
work-hour. Required parts would cost about $3,360 per product,
depending on configuration. Where the service information lists
required parts costs that are covered under warranty, we have assumed
that there will be no charge for these parts. As we do not control
warranty coverage for affected parties, some parties may incur costs
higher than estimated here. Based on these figures, we estimate the
cost of the proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $3,242,725, or $4,295
per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

The Proposed Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

Airbus: Docket No. FAA-2012-1105; Directorate Identifier 2012-NM-
137-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by December 7, 2012.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Airbus Model A318-111, -112, -121, and -122
airplanes; Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -

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

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

    The Exchange filed a proposal to amend the Market Data section of
its fee schedule applicable to its equity options platform (``BZX
Options'') to adopt fees for a new data feed to be known as BZX Options
Top.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
website at www.markets.cboe.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
    The BZX Options Top feed is a data feed that offers top of book
quotations and execution information based on options orders entered
into the System.\5\ The Exchange proposes to amend its fee schedule to
incorporate fees for distribution of eh BZX Options Top feed.\6\ The
proposed fees include the following, each of which are described in
detail below: (i) Distribution Fees for both Internal and External
Distributors; \7\ (ii) Usage Fees for both Professional \8\ and Non-
Professional \9\ Users; and (iii)

an Enterprise Fee. The Exchange is proposing identical fees for the BZX
Options Top feed as to those currently in place for the BZX Options
Depth feed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Exchange Rule 21.15(b)(2). See also Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 82776 (February 26, 2018) (SR-CboeBZX-2018-013) (Notice
of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change to
Adopt the BZX Options Top Feed).
    \6\ The Exchange also proposed to rename Multicast Pitch as BZX
Options Depth to reflect a recent change to the Exchange's rules
that was filed with the Commission. Id.
    \7\ A ``Distributor'' is defined as ``any entity that receives
the Exchange Market Data product directly from the Exchange or
indirectly through another entity and then distributes it internally
or externally to a third party.'' See the Exchange's fee schedule
available at http://markets.cboe.com/us/options/membership/fee_schedule/bzx/. An ``Internal Distributor'' is defined as ``a
Distributor that receives the Exchange Market Data product and then
distributes that data to one or more Users within the Distributor's
own entity.'' Id. An ``External Distributor'' is defined as ``a
Distributor that receives the Exchange Market Data product and then
distributes that data to a third party or one or more Users outside
the Distributor's own entity.'' Id.
    \8\ A ``Professional User'' is defined as ``any User other than
a Non-Professional User.'' Id.
    \9\ A ``Non-Professional User'' is defined as ``a natural person
or qualifying trust that uses Data only for personal purposes and
not for any commercial purpose and, for a natural person who works
in the United States, is not: (i) Registered or qualified in any
capacity with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Commodities Futures Trading Commission, any state securities agency,
any securities exchange or association, or any commodities or
futures contract market or association; (ii) engaged as an
``investment adviser'' as that term is defined in Section 202(a)(11)
of the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 (whether or not registered or
qualified under that Act); or (iii) employed by a bank or other
organization exempt from registration under federal or state
securities laws to perform functions that would require registration
or qualification if such functions were performed for an
organization not so exempt; or, for a natural person who works
outside of the United States, does not perform the same functions as
would disqualify such person as a Non-Professional User if he or she
worked in the United States.'' Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Distribution Fees. As proposed, each Internal Distributor that
receives BZX Options Top shall pay a fee of $3,000 per month. Each
External Distributor that receives BZX Options Top shall pay a fee of
$2,000 per month. The Exchange also proposes to make clear in its fee
schedule that where a Distributor acts as both an External and Internal
Distributor of BZX Options Top that it will pay the greater of the two
Distribution fees for internal or external use and not be charged both
fees each month.
    User Fees. The Exchange proposes to charge Internal Distributors
and External Distributors that redistribute the BZX Options Depth feed
different fees for their Professional Users and Non-Professional Users.
The Exchange will assess a monthly fee for Professional Users of $30.00
per User. Non-Professional Users will be assessed a monthly fee of
$1.00 per User. The proposed rates are identical to then those
currently charged for the BZX Options Depth feed. Since both the BZX
Option Depth Feed and BZX Options Top feed both include top-of-book
information, the Exchange proposes to not charge separate per User fees
for each product. As a result, one User fee would allow access to the
BZX Options Top Feed and the BZX Options Depth Feed. The Exchange
proposes to amend its fee schedule accordingly.
    Distributors that receive the BZX Options Depth feed will be
required to count every Professional User and Non-Professional User to
which they provide the market data product(s), the requirements for
which are identical to that currently in place for BZX Options Depth.
Thus, the Distributor's count will include every person and device that
accesses the data regardless of the purpose for which the individual or
device uses the data. However, because one User fee would allow access
to the BZX Options Top Feed and the BZX Options Depth Feed,
Distributors that provide a person or device access to both the BZX
Options Top Feed and the BZX Options Depth Feed need only to count that
person or device as a single User and not a User of both market data
products. Distributors must report all Professional and Non-
Professional Users in accordance with the following:
     In connection with a Distributor's distribution of the
market data product, the Distributor should count as one User each
unique User that the Distributor has entitled to have access to the
market data product. However, where a device is dedicated specifically
to a single individual, the Distributor should count only the
individual and need not count the device.
     The Distributor should identify and report each unique
User. If a User uses the same unique method to gain access to the
market data product, the Distributor should count that as one User.
However, if a unique User uses multiple methods to gain access to the
market data product (e.g., a single User has multiple passwords and
user identifications), the Distributor should report all of those
methods as an individual User.
     Distributors should report each unique individual person
who receives access through multiple devices as one User so long as
each device is dedicated specifically to that individual.
     If a Distributor entitles one or more individuals to use
the same device, the Distributor should include only the individuals,
and not the device, in the count.
    Enterprise Fee. The Exchange also proposes to establish a $3,500
per month Enterprise Fee that will permit a recipient firm who receives
BZX Options Depth from a Distributor to receive the data for an
unlimited number of Professional and Non-Professional Users. For
example, if a recipient firm had 15,000 Professional Users who each
receive BZX Options Top at $30.00 per month, then that recipient firm
will pay $450,000 per month in Professional Users fees. Under the
proposed Enterprise Fee, the recipient firm will pay a flat fee of
$3,500 for an unlimited number of Professional and Non-Professional
Users. A recipient firm must pay a separate Enterprise Fee for each
Distributor that controls the display of BZX Options Depth if it wishes
such User to be covered by an Enterprise Fee rather than by per User
fees. A recipient firm that pays the Enterprise Fee will not have to
report its number of such Users on a monthly basis. However, every six
months, a recipient firm must provide the Exchange with a count of the
total number of natural person users of each product, including both
Professional and Non-Professional Users.
Implementation Date
    The Exchange intends to implement the proposed changes to its fee
schedule on March 9, 2018.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act,\10\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(4),\11\ in particular, as they are designed
to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and
other charges among its members and other recipients of Exchange data.
The Exchange believes that the proposed rates are equitable and non-
discriminatory in that they apply uniformly to all recipients of
Exchange data and that the proposed fees are competitive with those
charged by other venues and, therefore, reasonable and equitably
allocated to recipients.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange also believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 11(A) of the Act \12\ in that it supports (i)
fair competition among brokers and dealers, among exchange markets, and
between exchange markets and markets other than exchange markets and
(ii) the availability to brokers, dealers, and investors of information
with respect to quotations for and transactions in securities.
Furthermore, the proposed rule change is consistent with Rule 603 of
Regulation NMS,\13\ which provides that any national securities
exchange that distributes information with respect to quotations for or
transactions in an NMS stock do so on terms that are not unreasonably
discriminatory. In adopting Regulation NMS, the Commission granted
self-regulatory organizations and broker-dealers increased authority
and flexibility to offer new and unique market data to the public. It
was believed that this authority would expand the amount of data
available to consumers, and also spur innovation and competition for
the provision of market data.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78k-1.
    \13\ 17 CFR 242.603.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, the proposed fees would not permit unfair
discrimination because all of the Exchange's customers and market data
vendors will be subject to the proposed fees on an equivalent basis.
BZX Options Depth is distributed and purchased on a voluntary basis, in
that neither the Exchange nor market data distributors are required by
any rule or regulation to make this data available. Accordingly,
Distributors and Users can discontinue use at any time

and for any reason, including due to an assessment of the
reasonableness of fees charged. Firms have a wide variety of
alternative market data products from which to choose, such as similar
proprietary data products offered by other exchanges and consolidated
data. Moreover, the Exchange is not required to make any proprietary
data products available or to offer any specific pricing alternatives
to any customers.
    In addition, the fees that are the subject of this rule filing are
constrained by competition. As explained below in the Exchange's
Statement on Burden on Competition, the existence of alternatives to
BZX Options Depth further ensures that the Exchange cannot set
unreasonable fees, or fees that are unreasonably discriminatory, when
vendors and subscribers can elect such alternatives. That is, the
Exchange competes with other exchanges (and their affiliates) that
provide similar market data products. If another exchange (or its
affiliate) were to charge less to distribute its similar product than
the Exchange charges to distribute BZX Options Depth, prospective Users
likely would not subscribe to, or would cease subscribing to BZX
Options Depth.
    The Exchange notes that the Commission is not required to undertake
a cost-of-service or rate-making approach. The Exchange believes that,
even if it were possible as a matter of economic theory, cost-based
pricing for non-core market data would be so complicated that it could
not be done practically.
    Distribution Fee. The Exchange believes that the proposed
Distribution Fees are also reasonable, equitably allocated, and not
unreasonably discriminatory. The fees for Members and non-Members are
uniform except with respect to reasonable distinctions with respect to
internal and external distribution, the fee for both are equal for each
of the market data products subject to this proposal. The proposed
amendment to the Internal Distributor fee is equitable and reasonable
as the proposed fees is similar to fees currently charged by the Nasdaq
Stock Market LLC (``Nasdaq'') for their options top-of-book data
product. Nasdaq currently charges external distributors of BONO,\14\
$2,000 per month.\15\ Nasdaq's fee for external distribution is
identical to that proposed by the Exchange herein. In addition, the
Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (``CBOE'') charges a
monthly fee of $9,000 to internal and external distributors of its top-
of-book data.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ BONO stands for Best of Nasdaq Options (``BONO\SM\'') is a
data feed that provides The Nasdaq Options Market (``NOM'') Best Bid
and Offer and last sale information for trades executed on NOM. See
Nasdaq Sec. 4(d), NASDAQ Options Market Data Distributor Fees
available at http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/Micro.aspx?id=optionsPricing.
    \15\ See Nasdaq Sec. 4(a), NASDAQ Options Market Data
Distributor Fees available at http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/Micro.aspx?id=optionsPricing.
    \16\ See CBOE Market Data Express, LLC (MDX) CBOE Streaming
Markets Fee Schedule available at https://www.cboe.org/publish/mdxfees/mdxfeescheduleforcboedatafeeds.pdf [sic].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to charge External Distributors lower fees
than Internal Distributors to promote broader distribution of exchange
data. The Exchange notes that External Distributors redistribute BZX
Options Top to those outside of their organization while Internal
Distributors distribute BZX Options Top within their own organization.
Charging lower fees for external distribution should encourage
Distributors, such as market data vendors who solely redistribute
market data, to subscribe to BZX Options Top as an External
Distributor, therefore, expanding the distribution network of the
Exchange's data.
    User Fees. The Exchange believes that implementing the Professional
and Non-Professional User fees for BZX Options Top are equitable and
reasonable because they will result in greater availability to
Professional and Non-Professional Users. Moreover, introducing a modest
Non-Professional User fee for BZX Options Depth is reasonable because
it provides an additional method for retail investors to access BZX
Options Top data by providing the same data that is available to
Professional Users. The Exchange believes that the proposed fees are
equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because they will be charged
uniformly to recipient firms and Users. The fee structure of
differentiated Professional and Non-Professional fees is utilized by
the Exchange for the Cboe One Feed and has long been used by other
exchanges for their proprietary data products, and by the Nasdaq UTP
and the CTA and CQ Plans in order to reduce the price of data to retail
investors and make it more broadly available.\17\ Offering BZX Options
Top to Non-Professional Users with the same data available to
Professional Users results in greater equity among data recipients. The
requirement that Distributors count every Professional User and Non-
Professional User to which they provide the market data product(s) is
also equitable and reasonable because the requirements are identical to
that currently in place for other market data products offered by the
Exchange. Also, the Exchange believes it is reasonable to charge one
User fee for access to the BZX Options Top Feed and the BZX Options
Depth Feed as the BZX Options Depth Feed also included top-of-book
data.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 74285 (February
18, 2015), 80 FR 9828 (February 24, 2015) (SR-BATS-2015-11); 74283
(February 18, 2015), 80 FR 9809 (February 24, 2015) (SR-EDGA-2015-
09); 74282 (February 17, 2015), 80 FR 9487 (February 23, 2015) (SR-
EDGX-2015-09); and 74284 (February 18, 2015), 80 FR 9792 (February
24, 2015) (SR-BYX-2015-09). See also, e.g., Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 20002, File No. S7-433 (July 22, 1983) (establishing
nonprofessional fees for CTA data); and Nasdaq Rules 7023(b), 7047.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, the proposed fees are reasonable when compared to
similar fees for comparable products offered by Nasdaq. Specifically,
Nasdaq charges a fee of $40 per month to professional users and $1.00
per month to non-professional users of its BONO feed.\18\ Each of these
fees charged by Nasdaq are either equal to or higher than that proposed
herein.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ See Nasdaq Sec. 4(a), NASDAQ Options Market Data
Distributor Fees available at http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/Micro.aspx?id=optionsPricing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Enterprise Fee. The proposed Enterprise Fee for BZX Option Top is
equitable and reasonable as the fees proposed could result in a fee
reduction for recipient firms with a large number of Professional and
Non-Professional Users. Meanwhile, the Exchange notes that Nasdaq does
not offer such potential fee relief for its BONO feed.\19\ If a
recipient firm has a smaller number of Professional Users of BZX
Options Top, then it may continue using the per User structure and
benefit from the per User Fee reductions. By reducing prices for
recipient firms with a large number of Professional and Non-
Professional Users, the Exchange believes that more firms may choose to
receive and to distribute BZX Options Top, thereby expanding the
distribution of this market data for the benefit of investors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange further believes that the proposed Enterprise Fee is
reasonable because it will simplify reporting for certain recipients
that have large numbers of Professional and Non-Professional Users.
Firms that pay the proposed Enterprise Fee will not have to report the
number of Users on a monthly basis as they currently do, but rather
will only have to count natural person users every six months, which is
a significant reduction in administrative burden. Finally, the Exchange
believes that it is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory to
establish an Enterprise

Fee because it reduces the Exchange's costs and the Distributor's
administrative burdens in tracking and auditing large numbers of Users.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended. The
Exchange's ability to price BZX Options Top is constrained by: (i)
Competition among exchanges, other trading platforms, and Trade
Reporting Facilities (``TRF'') that compete with each other in a
variety of dimensions; (ii) the existence of inexpensive real-time
consolidated data and market-specific data and free delayed data; and
(iii) the inherent contestability of the market for proprietary data.
    The Exchange and its market data products are subject to
significant competitive forces and the proposed fees represent
responses to that competition. To start, the Exchange competes
intensely for order flow. It competes with the other national
securities exchanges that currently trade equities, with electronic
communication networks, with quotes posted in FINRA's Alternative
Display Facility, with alternative trading systems, and with securities
firms that primarily trade as principal with their customer order flow.
    In addition, BZX Options Top competes with a number of alternative
products. For instance, BZX Options Top does not provide a complete
picture of all trading activity in a security. Rather, the other
national securities exchanges, the several TRFs of FINRA, and
Electronic Communication Networks (``ECN'') that produce proprietary
data all produce trades and trade reports. Each is currently permitted
to produce last sale information products, and many currently do,
including Nasdaq and NYSE. In addition, market participants can gain
access to BZX Options last sale and depth-of-book quotations, though
integrated with the prices of other markets, on feeds made available
through the SIPs.
    In sum, the availability of a variety of alternative sources of
information imposes significant competitive pressures on Exchange data
products and the Exchange's compelling need to attract order flow
imposes significant competitive pressure on the Exchange to act
equitably, fairly, and reasonably in setting the proposed data product
fees. The proposed data product fees are, in part, responses to that
pressure. The Exchange believes that the proposed fees would reflect an
equitable allocation of its overall costs to users of its facilities.
    In addition, when establishing the proposed fees, the Exchange
considered the competitiveness of the market for proprietary data and
all of the implications of that competition. The Exchange believes that
it has considered all relevant factors and has not considered
irrelevant factors in order to establish fair, reasonable, and not
unreasonably discriminatory fees and an equitable allocation of fees
among all Users. The existence of alternatives to BZX Options Top,
including existing similar feeds by other exchanges, consolidated data,
and proprietary data from other sources, ensures that the Exchange
cannot set unreasonable fees, or fees that are unreasonably
discriminatory, when vendors and subscribers can elect these
alternatives or choose not to purchase a specific proprietary data
product if its cost to purchase is not justified by the returns any
particular vendor or subscriber would achieve through the purchase.

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

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on
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 pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \20\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4
thereunder.\21\ 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.

    h. Applicant Contact: Mr. Clay Koplin, CEO--Cordova Electric
Cooperative, INC, 705 Second Street, P.O. Box 20 Cordova, AK 99574,
(907) 424-5555.
    i. FERC Contact: Mr. Michael T. Calloway,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    j. Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene, and protests
is 30 days from the issuance date of this notice by the Commission.
    All documents may be filed electronically via the Internet. See, 18
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web
site at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp. If unable to be
filed electronically, documents may be paper-filed. To paper-file, an
original and seven copies should be mailed to: Secretary, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC
20426. Commenters can submit brief comments up to 6,000 characters,
without prior registration, using the eComment system at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/ecomment.asp. You must include your name and
contact information at the end of your comments.
    Please include the project number (P-11243-075) on any comments,
motions, or recommendations filed.
    k. Description of Request: The licensee is requesting to suspend
the Article 404 requirement to continuously release 5 cubic feet per
second (cfs) into the bypassed reach of Power Creek in order to study
accretion flow, the environmental effects to fish, and to potentially
develop a proposal to permanently suspend the requirements of Article
404 in order to generate additional power at a reduced cost with less
emissions compared to the alternative of diesel power generation during
the low flow period. The licensee states that preliminary studies have
indicated that the bypassed reach has an average accretion flow 20 cfs
during low flow periods with a minimum measured flow of 7.79 cfs in
March as measured just upstream of the powerhouse. Therefore, the
licensee's request is not expected to dewater the bypass reach, as it
should still receive the intended 5 cfs from accretion flow.
    l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is
