SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-68425; File No. SR-BOX-2012-021]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; BOX Options Exchange LLC; Notice
of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To
Extend the Penny Pilot Program

December 13, 2012.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on November 30, 2012, BOX Options Exchange LLC (the ``Exchange'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ``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
the proposed rule change as constituting a ``non-controversial'' rule
change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder,\4\ which renders the proposal 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

    BOX Options Exchange LLC (the ``Exchange'') proposes to amend Rule
7260 (Penny Pilot Program) to extend, through June 30, 2013, the pilot
program that permits certain classes to be quoted in penny increments
(``Penny Pilot Program''). The text of the proposed rule change is
available from the principal office of the Exchange, on the Exchange's
Internet Web site at http://boxexchange.com, 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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to extend the effective time period of the
Penny Pilot Program that is currently scheduled to expire on December
31, 2012, for an additional six months, through June 30, 2013.\5\ The
Penny Pilot Program permits certain classes to be quoted in penny
increments. The minimum price variation for all classes included in the
Penny Pilot Program, except for the QQQQs, SPY and IWM, will continue
to be $0.01 for all quotations in option series that are quoted at less
than $3 per contract and $0.05 for all quotations in option series that
are quoted at $3 per contract or greater. The QQQQs, SPY and IWM, will
continue to be quoted in $0.01 increments for all options series.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Penny Pilot Program has been in effect on the Exchange
since its inception in May 2012. See Securities Exchange Act Release
No. 66871 (April 27, 2012) 77 FR 26323 (May 3, 2012) (File No. 10-
206, In the Matter of the Application of BOX Options Exchange LLC
for Registration as a National Securities Exchange Findings,
Opinion, and Order of the Commission) and 67328 (June 29, 2012) 77
FR 40123 (July 6, 2012) (SR-BOX-2012-007). The extension of the
effective date is the only change to the Penny Pilot Program being
proposed at this time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange may replace any Pilot Program classes that have been
delisted on the second trading day following January 1, 2013. The
replacement classes will be selected based on trading activity for the
six month period beginning June 1, 2012, and ending November 30, 2012.
The Exchange will employ the same parameters to prospective replacement
classes as approved and applicable under the Pilot Program, including
the exclusion of high-priced underlying securities. The Exchange will
distribute a Regulatory Circular notifying Participants which
replacement classes shall be included in the Penny Pilot Program.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act,\6\ in general, and Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\7\ in particular, in that it is designed to foster
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating,
clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism for a free and open market and a national market
system and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
In particular, the proposed extension will allow the Penny Pilot
Program to remain in effect without interruption.

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\9\
Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as
the Commission may designate if consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally does
not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the filing.\12\
However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\13\ the Commission may
designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal
may become operative immediately upon filing. The Commission believes
that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest because doing so will
allow the Pilot Program to continue without interruption in a manner
that is consistent with the Commission's prior approval of the
extension and expansion of the Pilot Program and will allow the
Exchange and the Commission additional time to analyze the impact of
the Pilot Program.\14\ Accordingly, the Commission designates the
proposed rule change as operative upon filing with the Commission.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the
Exchange's intent to file the proposed rule change along with a
brief description and the text of the proposed rule change, at least
five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The
Exchange has satisfied this pre-filing requirement.
    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \14\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 61061 (November 24,
2009), 74 FR 62857 (December 1, 2009) (SR-NYSEArca-2009-44). See
also supra note 6.
    \15\ For purposes only of waiving the operative delay for this
proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact
on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of 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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30972 Amdt. No. 3603]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports.
These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or
revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National
Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective September 2, 2014. The compliance date
for each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of September 2, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:
    For Examination--
    1. FAA Rules Docket, FAA Headquarters Building, 800 Independence
Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591;
    2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which the affected
airport is located;
    3. The National Flight Procedures Office, 6500 South MacArthur
Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169 or,
    4. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For
information on the availability of this material at NARA, call 202-741-
6030, or go to: http://www.archives.gov/federalregister/
codeoffederalregulations/
ibrlocations.html.
    Availability--All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are available
online free of charge. Visit http://www.nfdc.faa.gov to register.
Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP copies may
be obtained from:
    1. FAA Public Inquiry Center (APA-200), FAA Headquarters Building,
800 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591; or
    2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which the affected
airport is located.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard A. Dunham III, Flight
Procedure Standards Branch (AFS-420), Flight Technologies and Programs
Divisions, Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration,

City, OK. 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125)
Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97), by establishing,
amending, suspending, or revoking SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums

and/or ODPS. The complete regulators description of each SIAP and its
associated Takeoff Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed
on FAA form documents which are incorporated by reference in this
amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR 97.20. The
applicable FAA Forms are FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A,
and 8260-15B when required by an entry on 8260-15A.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, in addition
to their complex nature and the need for a special format make
publication in the Federal Register expensive and impractical.
Furthermore, airmen do not use the regulatory text of the SIAPs,
Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead refer to their depiction on
charts printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. The advantages
of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the
complete description of each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on
FAA forms is unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR
sections and specifies the types of SIAPs and the effective dates of
the, associated Takeoff Minimums and ODPs. This amendment also
identifies the airport and its location, the procedure, and the
amendment number.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as contained in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flight safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts. The
circumstances which created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums
and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less than 30
days. For the remaining SIAPS and Takeoff Minimums and ODPS, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPS contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPS and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedures before adopting these SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and
ODPs are impracticable and contrary to the public interest and, where
applicable, that good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in
less than 30 days.

Conclusion

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(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); and
(3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
Viking Air Limited Model DHC-3 airplanes. This proposed AD results from
mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an
aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as reports of corrugation cracking found at various wing
stations and on the main spar lower cap. We are issuing this proposed
AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

Discussion

    Transport Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada, has
issued AD No. CF-2015-05, dated March 18, 2015 (referred to after this
as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for Viking Air Limited
Model DHC-3 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    An operator found cracks on the upper inner wing skin
corrugations emanating from the rib attachment points. As a result,
Viking Air Limited released Service Bulletin (SB) V3/0002, Revision
NC to inspect for possible corrugation cracking between wing
stations 34 and 110. Subsequently, operators discovered additional
corrugation cracking at multiple wing stations and on the main spar
lower cap.
    These cracks, if not detected and rectified, may compromise the
structural integrity of the wing. In order to address this
potentially unsafe condition, Viking Air Limited has issued SB V3/
0002, Revision C, specifying repetitive internal borescope and
visual inspections. This AD is issued to mandate compliance with
that SB.

You may examine the MCAI on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov
by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-3073.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Viking DHC-3 Otter Service Bulletin No. V3/0002,
Revision ``C'', dated April 30, 2014; and Viking DHC-3 Otter Service
Bulletin 3-STC (03-50)-001, Revision ``NC'', dated April 30, 2014. The
service information describes procedures for installing additional wing
inspection access panels and inspecting the wings using borescope and
visual methods. This service information is reasonably available
because the interested parties have access to it through their normal
course of business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section
of this NPRM.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of the 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 this State of Design Authority, they
have notified us of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and
service information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because
we evaluated all information and determined the unsafe condition exists
and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type
design.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD will affect 38 products of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it would take about 36 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 $5,000 per product.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD on
U.S. operators to be $306,280, or $8,060 per product.
    The scope of damage found in the required inspection could vary
significantly from airplane to airplane. We have no way of determining
how much damage may be found on each airplane or the cost to repair
damaged parts on each airplane.

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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

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

0
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]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

Viking Air Limited: Docket No. FAA-2015-3073; Directorate Identifier
2015-CE-017-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by September 11, 2015.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Viking Air Limited DHC-3 airplanes, all
serial numbers, certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 57: Wings.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness
information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another
country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation
product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as reports of
corrugation cracking found at various wing stations and on the main
spar lower cap. We are issuing this proposed AD to detect cracking
and correct as necessary to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

 (f) Actions and Compliance

    Unless already done, do the following actions in paragraphs
(f)(1) through (f)(5) of this AD:
    (1) Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD,
determine the accumulated air time for each wing by contacting
Technical Support at Viking Air Limited. You can find contact
information for Viking Air Limited in paragraph (h) of this AD.
    (2) Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD,
determine all installed supplemental type certificates (STC) or
modifications affecting the wings. Based on the accumulated air time
determined from paragraph (f)(1) of this AD and before the initial
inspection required in paragraph (f)(3) of this AD, install access
panels as follows:
    (i) If the airplane is free of STCs or any other modifications
affecting the wings, install additional inspection access panels
following the Accomplishment Instructions Part A of Viking DHC-3
Otter Service Bulletin No. V3/0002, Revision ``C'', dated April 30,
2014.
    (ii) If the airplane is fitted with STC SA2009NY (which can be
found on the internet at: http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgstc.nsf/0/F7309B7D9B008C588625734F00730144?OpenDocument&Highlight=sa02009ny),
incorporate additional inspection access panels following the
Accomplishment Instructions of Viking Air Limited SB 3-STC (03-50)-
001, Revision ``NC'', dated April 30, 2014.

    Note 1 to paragraph (f)(2)(ii) of this AD: STC SA03-50 would be
the Canadian equivalent of the United States STC 2A2009NY.

    (iii) If there are other STCs or modifications affecting the
wings the operator must contact the FAA to request an FAA-approved
alternative method of compliance using the procedures in paragraph
(g)(1) of this AD and 14 CFR 39.19. To develop these procedures, we
recommend you contact the STC holder for guidance in developing
substantiating data.
    (3) Based on the accumulated air time on the wings determined in
paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, perform initial and repetitive
borescope and visual inspections of both the left-hand and right-
hand wing box following Part B of the Accomplishment Instructions of
Viking DHC-3 Otter Service Bulletin V3/0002, Revision ``C'', dated
April 30, 2014, using the inspection schedules specified in Table 1
of paragraph (f)(3) of this AD:

Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change
Amending the NYSE Price List To Revise Its Schedule of Rebates Paid to
Designated Market Makers for Providing Liquidity on the Exchange and To
Delete References to Round and Odd Lot Transactions

January 11, 2012.
    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 December 30, 2011, New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend its Price List to revise its
schedule of rebates paid to Designated Market Makers (``DMMs'') for
providing liquidity on the Exchange and to delete references to round
and odd lot transactions. The text of the proposed rule change is
available at the Exchange, the Commission's Public Reference Room, and
www.nyse.com.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend its Price List to revise its
schedule of rebates paid to DMMs for providing liquidity on the
Exchange and to delete references to round and odd lot transactions.
    Currently, DMMs earn a rebate of $0.0030 per share when adding
liquidity in More Active Securities \3\ if the More Active Security has
a stock price of $1 or more and the DMM meets (i) the More Active
Securities Quoting Requirement \4\ and (ii) the More Active Securities
Quoted Size Ratio Requirement.\5\ The Exchange proposes to modify this
rebate as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ ``More Active Securities'' are securities with an average
daily consolidated volume (``ADV'') in the previous month equal to
or greater than 1,000,000 shares per month.
    \4\ The ``More Active Securities Quoting Requirement'' is met if
the More Active Security has a stock price of $1.00 or more and the
DMM quotes at the National Best Bid or Offer (``NBBO'') in the
applicable security at least 10% of the time in the applicable
month.
    \5\ A DMM meets the ``More Active Securities Quoted Size Ratio
Requirement'' when the DMM Quoted Size for an applicable month is
15% of the NYSE Quoted Size. The ``NYSE Quoted Size'' is calculated
by multiplying the average number of shares quoted on the NYSE at
the NBBO by the percentage of time the NYSE had a quote posted at
the NBBO. The ``DMM Quoted Size'' is calculated by multiplying the
average number of shares of the applicable security quoted at the
NBBO by the DMM by the percentage of time during which the DMM
quoted at the NBBO.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     DMMs will continue to earn a rebate of $0.0030 per share
for adding liquidity that is 20% or less than NYSE's total intraday
adding liquidity in shares of each More Active Security for that month
if the More Active Security has a stock price of $1 or more and the DMM
meets (i) the More Active Securities Quoting Requirement and (ii) the
More Active Securities Quoted Size Ratio Requirement.
     DMMs adding liquidity in those same securities will earn a
rebate of $0.0026 per share for any incremental adding liquidity in
each such security for that month that exceeds 20% of NYSE's total
intraday adding liquidity.
     For the purposes of paying the DMM rebate, the NYSE total
intraday adding liquidity will be totaled monthly \6\ and will include
all NYSE adding liquidity, excluding NYSE open and NYSE close volume,
by all NYSE participants, including Supplemental Liquidity Providers
(``SLP''), customers, Floor brokers, and DMMs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The Exchange currently sends each DMM a daily file with that
DMM's daily and month to date volumes and quoting performance for
each individual DMM stock. The Exchange includes in that daily file
the DMM's intraday providing volume and NYSE intraday providing
volume by DMM stock, which will allow each DMM to track their month
to date status for the monthly rebates, which will be totaled on a
monthly basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rebates will be applied when (i) posting displayed and non-
displayed orders on Display Book, including s-quote and s-quote reserve
orders; (ii) when providing liquidity on non-displayed interest using
the Capital Commitment Schedule; and (iii) when executing trades in the
crowd and at Liquidity Replenishment Points.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See n. 6 of the Price List.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For example, in a More Active Security (with a stock price of $1 or
more) in a given month where the DMM meets the More Active Securities
Quoting Requirement and the More Active Securities Quoted Size Ratio
Requirement, if a DMM's intraday adding liquidity for that month is
30,000,000 shares, and total NYSE intraday adding liquidity is
100,000,000 shares, the DMM will earn a rebate of $0.0030 per share for
the first 20,000,000 shares of adding liquidity because those shares
are at or below the 20% intraday adding share threshold. The DMM will
earn a rebate of $0.0026 per share for the remaining 10,000,000 shares
because those shares exceed the 20% intraday adding share threshold.
For other More Active Securities, with a stock price of $1 or more,
where the DMM meets the More Active Securities Quoting Requirement and
the More Active Securities Quoted Size Ratio Requirement, and the DMM's
share of intraday adding liquidity is at or below the 20% intraday
adding share threshold, the DMM will earn a rebate of $0.0030 per share
for all adding liquidity for the More Active Securities.
    Finally, the Exchange proposes to delete references to round and
odd lot transactions in the Price List, which are outdated in light of
the decommissioning of the odd lot system.\8\ Since the decommissioning
of the odd lot system, all per share transaction fees and credits have
been applied at the round lot rate.

2010), 75 FR 45185 (August 2, 2010) (SR-NYSE-2010-43).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule filing will be effective January 1, 2012[.] [sic]
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the provisions of Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\9\ in general, and Section 6(b)(4) \10\ of the Act, in
particular, in that it is designed to provide for the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its
members and other persons using its facilities. The Exchange believes
that the proposed rebates are equitably allocated and not unfairly
discriminatory because they will apply equally to all DMMs. NYSE
believes that the rebate of $0.0026 for intraday adding liquidity that
exceeds 20% share of NYSE total adding liquidity as described above is
reasonable because DMMs have greater obligations than SLPs,\11\ so it
is reasonable to pay DMMs a $0.0026 rebate, which is still slightly
higher than the SLPs' rebate of up to $0.0022. Additionally, the
$0.0026 rebate is reasonable because it is still higher than the
$0.0025 rebate that DMMs receive when they only meet the More Active
Securities Quoting Requirement, but not the More Active Securities
Quoted Size Ratio Requirement. At the same time, the Exchange believes
the proposed rule change will encourage multiple sources of market
liquidity (e.g. SLPs, Floor Brokers, and other market participants),
which will help to promote a more robust, fair, and orderly market. The
Exchange believes that removing outdated references to round and odd
lots in the Price List will add clarity to the Price List.

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

impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
