40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R02-OAR-2021-0361, FRL-10180-01-R2]

Approval of Air Quality Implementation Plans; New York; Fuel
Composition and Use

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve revisions to the New York State Implementation Plan (SIP)
concerning the control and reduction of sulfur and particulate matter
emissions from facilities in New York State. The proposed SIP revision
consists of amendments to regulations outlined within New York's Codes,
Rules and Regulations (NYCRR) for sulfur in fuel limits. The intended
effect of this revision is to approve control strategies, required by
the Clean Air Act, which will result in emission reductions that will
help attain and maintain National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)
for fine particulate matter and sulfur dioxide emissions throughout New
York State. Additionally, the proposed revisions will establish
applicability criteria, composition limits and permitting requirements
for waste oils; establish monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting
requirements for facilities that are determined eligible to burn waste
oil; and allow for the burning of waste oils in space heaters at
automotive maintenance/service facilities.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before November 25,
2022.

I. Background
II. The EPA's Evaluation of New York's Submittal
III. Proposed Action
IV. Incorporation by Reference
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. Background

    The EPA is proposing to approve New York's SIP submittal consisting
of revisions to Title 6 of the New York Codes, Rules and Regulations (6
NYCRR) subpart 225-1, ``Fuel Composition and Use--Sulfur Limitations,''
which imposes limits on the sulfur content of distillate oil, residual
oil, and coal fired in stationary sources and regulates the burning of
waste oils in combustion, incineration, and process sources throughout
New York State. In addition, the EPA is proposing to approve revisions
to 6 NYCRR subpart 225-2, ``Fuel Composition and Use,'' and an
attendant revision made to 6 NYCRR part 200, ``General Provisions,''
that moves the definition for ``residual oil'' from subpart 225-2, now
entitled, ``Fuel Consumption and Use--Waste Oil as a Fuel,'' to part
200. The EPA is proposing to approve these revisions, requested by New
York, to strengthen the effectiveness of New York's SIP.

II. The EPA's Evaluation of New York's Submittal

    On August 26, 2020, the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation (NYSDEC) submitted to the EPA proposed SIP revisions to 6
NYCRR part 225, ``Fuel Composition and Use,'' subpart 225-2, now
entitled, ``Fuel Composition and Use--Waste Oil as a Fuel,'' and
attendant revisions to part 200, ``General Provisions,'' sections
200.1, ``Definitions,'' and section 200.9, ``Referenced material''. The
attendant revisions to 6 NYCRR part 200, ``General Provisions,''
section 200.9, Table 1, ``Referenced material,'' for 6 NYCRR subpart
225-2 have been addressed under a separate rulemaking at 87 FR 52337,
effective September 26, 2022. Additionally, on March 2, 2021, NYSDEC
submitted to the EPA proposed SIP revisions to 6 NYCRR part 225, ``Fuel
Composition and Use,'' subpart 225-1, ``Fuel Composition and Use--
Sulfur Limitations''. Each proposed SIP revision submitted to the EPA
provided supplemental materials and the NYSDEC's responses to public
comments. These materials are in the EPA's docket for this proposal.

Revisions to Parts 225 and 200

    The EPA is proposing to approve revisions to parts 225 and 200. The
revisions to part 225 apply to fuel composition and use, and limits the
sulfur content of distillate oil, residual oil, and coal fired in
stationary sources and regulates the burning of waste oils in
combustion, incineration, and process sources throughout New York. The
EPA proposes to approve these revisions to strengthen New York's
SIP.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The NYSDEC revised subpart 225-1 to impose limits on the
sulfur content of distillate oil, residual oil, and coal fired in
stationary source and revised subpart 225-2 which establishes
applicability criteria, composition limits, and permitting
requirements for waste oils; establishes monitoring, recordkeeping,
and reporting requirements for facilities that are determined
eligible to burn waste oil; and allows for the burning of waste oils
in space heaters at automotive maintenance/service facilities.
Subpart 225-2 has also been renamed ``Fuel Composition and Use--
Waste Oil as Fuel''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The revisions to subpart 225-1, ``Fuel Composition and Use--Sulfur
Limitations,'' will add process sources and incinerators as stationary
emission sources to which these revisions will apply throughout New
York State. The revisions also lower the sulfur-in-fuel limit for waste
oil and correct minor typographical errors. The revisions remove 6
NYCRR subdivision 225-1.3(e) which had stated that, pursuant to Section
117 of Article 5 of the Energy Law, the Governor may pre-empt the
requirements of 6 NYCRR subpart 225-1 if an energy or fuel supply
emergency

is declared. Finally, the revisions will remove paragraph 225-1.4(c)(2)
which New York indicated, in the January 20, 2021 Notice of Adoption,
was contradictory and less stringent than the sulfur-in-fuel
requirements of the table in subdivision 225-1.2(b) of this subpart.
    The revisions to subpart 225-2 that the EPA is proposing to
approve, ``Fuel Composition and Use--Waste Oil As A Fuel,'' simplify
and streamline implementation of the regulation by eliminating obsolete
regulatory references; correcting typographical errors; updating the
regulation's waste oil constituent limits; removing outdated work
practices; expanding the number of facilities eligible to burn waste
oil; updating the permitting process to include monitoring,
recordkeeping, and reporting requirements, thus aligning it with part
201 and Title V criteria found in the Clean Air Act; and moving the
definition of ``residual oil'' from existing subpart 225-2 to part 200.
The existing SIP version of subpart 225-2 also contains references to
liquid waste transportation regulations that no longer apply and need
to be removed from the SIP. NYSDEC also now includes arsenic (5 ppm),
cadmium (2 ppm), and chromium (10 ppm) and their corresponding limits
in Table 1 of Proposed Subpart 225-2. The NYSDEC has removed the
ninety-nine (99) percent combustion efficiency requirement. The revised
subpart 225-2 no longer addresses the burning of chemical waste and
``off-spec'' waste oils (i.e., Waste fuel B) that do not meet the
limitations specified in Table 1 of existing subpart 225-2. Instead,
burning chemical waste and off-spec waste oils is regulated under 6
NYCRR part 212, Process Operations or 6 NYCRR parts 370-376 as
appropriate. New York State's subpart 225-2 revisions clarify the
regulation's process for the burning of waste oil while removing the
term ``waste fuel.''

III. Proposed Action

    The EPA proposes to approve the revisions to 6 NYCRR subpart 225-2,
``Fuel Composition and Use,'' attendant revisions to part 200,
``General Provisions,'' section 200.1, ``Definitions,'' and revisions
to 6 NYCRR part 225, ``Fuel Consumption and Use,'' subpart 225-1,
``Fuel Composition and Use--Sulfur Limitations'', with State effective
dates of April 2, 2020 (subpart 225-2 and section 200.1) and February
4, 2021 (part 225-1), into New York's SIP, in order to strengthen
enforcement of the State's air pollution control regulations. The
attendant revisions to 6 NYCRR part 200, ``General Provisions,''
section 200.9, Table 1, ``Referenced material,'' for 6 NYCRR subpart
225-2 have been addressed under a separate rulemaking at 87 FR 52337,
effective September 26, 2022. The EPA is soliciting public comments on
the issues discussed in this proposed rulemaking action. These comments
will be considered before taking final action.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, the EPA is proposing to include regulatory text
that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with
requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is proposing to incorporate by
reference revisions to 6 NYCRR part 225, ``Fuel Composition and Use,''
subpart 225-2, ``Fuel Composition and Use,'' attendant revisions to
part 200, ``General Provisions,'' section 200.1, ``Definitions,'' and 6
NYCRR part 225, ``Fuel Composition and Use,'' subpart 225-1, ``Fuel
Composition and Use--Sulfur Limitations,'' as described in Section II.
and III. of this preamble. The EPA has made, and will continue to make,
these materials generally available through www.regulations.gov and at
the EPA Region 2 Office (please contact the person identified in the
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more
information).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely proposes to approve state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this proposed action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not proposing to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the proposed rule does not have tribal implications and
it will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or
preempt tribal law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite interested people to take part in this rulemaking by
sending written comments, data, or views. The most helpful comments
reference a specific portion of the special conditions, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data.
    We will consider all comments we receive on or before the closing
date for comments. We may change these special conditions based on the
comments we receive.

Background

    On May 30, 2012, Bombardier applied for an amendment to type
certificate no. T00003NY to include the new Model BD-700-2A12 and BD-
700-2A13 airplanes. These airplanes are derivatives of the Model BD-700
series of airplanes currently approved under type certificate no.
T00003NY, and are marketed as the Bombardier Global 7000 (Model BD-700-
2A12) and Global 8000 (Model BD-700-2A13). These airplanes are ultra-
long-range, executive-interior business jets.

Type Certification Basis

    Under the provisions of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR) 21.101, Bombardier must show that the Model BD-700-2A12 and BD-
700-2A13 airplanes meet the applicable provisions of the regulations
listed in type certificate no. T00003NY, or the applicable regulations
in effect on the date of application for the change, except for earlier
amendments as agreed upon by the FAA.
    If the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness
regulations (i.e., 14 CFR part 25) do not contain adequate or
appropriate safety standards for the BD-700-2A12 and BD-700-2A13
airplanes because of a novel or unusual design feature, special
conditions are prescribed under the provisions of Sec.  21.16.
    Special conditions are initially applicable to the model for which
they are issued. Should the type certificate for that model be amended
later to include any other model that incorporates the same novel or
unusual design feature, or should any other model already included on
the same type certificate be modified to incorporate the same novel or
unusual design feature, these special conditions would also apply to
the other model under Sec.  21.101.
    In addition to the applicable airworthiness regulations and special
conditions, the Model BD-700-2A12 and BD-700-2A13 airplanes must comply
with the fuel-vent and exhaust-emission requirements of 14 CFR part 34,
and the noise certification requirements of 14 CFR part 36.
    The FAA issues special conditions, as defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in
accordance with Sec.  11.38, and they become part of the type-
certification basis under Sec.  21.101.

Novel or Unusual Design Features

    The Model BD-700-2A12 and BD-700-2A13 airplanes will incorporate
the following novel or unusual design feature:
    Digital systems architecture composed of several connected data
networks. This network architecture and configuration may be used for,
or interfaced with, a diverse set of functions, including:
     Flight-safety-related control, communication, and
navigation systems (airplane-control domain);

     Operation and administrative support (operator-
information-services domain); and
     Passenger information and entertainment systems
(passenger-entertainment domain).
    In addition, this digital systems architecture will have the
capability to allow access to or by external network sources.

Discussion

    The Model BD-700-2A12 and BD-700-2A13 airplane digital systems
network architecture is different from existing production (and
retrofitted) airplanes as it allows new kinds of user access to
previously isolated data networks connected to systems that perform
functions required for the safe operation of the airplane. This
proposed data-network design and integration may result in security
vulnerabilities from intentional or unintentional corruption of data
and systems critical to the safety and maintenance of the airplane.
    The existing regulations and guidance material did not anticipate
these types of system architectures or access to airplane systems.
Furthermore, 14 CFR regulations, and current system safety-assessment
policy and techniques, do not address potential security
vulnerabilities that could be caused by unauthorized access to airplane
data busses and servers. Therefore, these special conditions are issued
to ensure that the security, integrity, and availability of airplane
systems are not compromised by certain wired or wireless electronic
connections between airplane data busses and networks.
    These special conditions contain the additional safety standards
that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of
safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness
standards.

Applicability

    As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to the
Model BD-700-2A12 and BD-700-2A13 airplanes. Should Bombardier apply at
a later date for a change to the type certificate to include another
model incorporating the same novel or unusual design feature, these
special conditions would apply to the other model as well.

Conclusion

    This action affects only certain novel or unusual design features
on Bombardier Model BD-700-2A12 and BD-700-2A13 airplanes. It is not a
rule of general applicability.
    The substance of these special conditions has been subjected to the
notice and comment period in several prior instances and has been
derived without substantive change from those previously issued. It is
unlikely that prior public comment would result in a significant change
from the substance contained herein. Therefore, the FAA has determined
that prior public notice and comment are unnecessary, and good cause
exists for adopting these special conditions upon publication in the
Federal Register.
    The FAA is requesting comments to allow interested persons to
submit views that may not have been submitted in response to the prior

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend Rule 7.46
To Modify Certain Data Collection Requirements of the Regulation NMS
Plan To Implement a Tick Size Pilot Program

September 12, 2016.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that, on August 29, 2016, NYSE Arca, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
``NYSE Arca'') 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 self-regulatory
organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 7.46 to modify certain data
collection requirements of the Regulation NMS Plan to Implement a Tick
Size Pilot Program. The proposed rule change is available on the
Exchange's Web site at www.nyse.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 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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    On August 25, 2014, NYSE Arca, and several other self-regulatory
organizations (the ``Participants'') filed with the Commission,
pursuant to Section 11A of the Act \4\ and Rule 608 of Regulation NMS
thereunder,\5\ the Plan to Implement a Tick Size Pilot Program (the
``Plan'').\6\ The Participants filed the Plan to comply with an order
issued by the Commission on June 24, 2014.\7\ The Plan was published
for comment in the Federal Register on November 7, 2014, and approved
by the Commission, as modified, on May 6, 2015.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78k-1.
    \5\ 17 CFR 242.608.
    \6\ See Letter from Brendon J. Weiss, Vice President,
Intercontinental Exchange, Inc., to Secretary, Commission, dated
August 25, 2014.
    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No 72460 (June 24,
2014), 79 FR 36840 (June 30, 2014).
    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 74892 (May 6, 2015),
80 FR 27513 (May 13, 2015) (``Approval Order'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Plan is designed to allow the Commission, market participants,
and the public to study and assess the impact of increment conventions
on the liquidity and trading of the common stock of small-
capitalization companies. Each Participant is required to comply, and
to enforce compliance by its member organizations, as applicable, with
the provisions of the Plan.
    The Plan provides for the creation of a group of Pilot Securities,
which shall be placed in a control group and three separate test
groups, with each subject to varying quoting and trading increments.
Pilot Securities in the control group will be quoted at the current
tick size increment of $0.01 per share and will trade at the currently
permitted increments. Pilot Securities in the first test group will be
quoted in $0.05 minimum increments but will continue to trade at any
price increment that is currently permitted.\9\ Pilot Securities in the
second test group (``Test Group Two'') will be quoted in $0.05 minimum
increments and will trade at $0.05 minimum increments subject to a
midpoint exception, a retail investor order exception, and a

negotiated trade exception.\10\ Pilot Securities in the third test
group (``Test Group Three'') will be subject to the same quoting and
trading increments as Test Group Two, and also will be subject to the
``Trade-at'' requirement to prevent price matching by a market
participant that is not displaying at the price of a Trading Center's
``Best Protected Bid'' or ``Best Protected Offer,'' unless an
enumerated exception applies.\11\ In addition to the exceptions
provided under Test Group Two, an exception for Block Size orders and
exceptions that mirror those under Rule 611 of Regulation NMS \12\ will
apply to the Trade-at requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Section VI(B) of the Plan.
    \10\ See Section VI(C) of the Plan.
    \11\ See Section VI(D) of the Plan.
    \12\ 17 CFR 242.611.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Plan also requires a Trading Center \13\ or a Market Maker \14\
to collect and transmit certain data to its designated examining
authority (``DEA''), and requires DEAs to transmit this data to the
Commission. Participants that operate a Trading Center also are
required under the Plan to collect certain data, which is then
transmitted directly to the Commission. With respect to Trading
Centers, Appendix B.I to the Plan (Market Quality Statistics) requires
a Trading Center to submit to the Participant that is its DEA a variety
of market quality statistics. Appendix B.II to the Plan (Market and
Marketable Limit Order Data) requires a Trading Center to submit
information to its DEA relating to market orders and marketable limit
orders, including the time of order receipt, order type, the order
size, and the National Best Bid and National Best Offer quoted price.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ The Plan incorporates the definition of a ``Trading
Center'' from Rule 600(b)(78) of Regulation NMS. Regulation NMS
defines a ``Trading Center'' as ``a national securities exchange or
national securities association that operates an SRO trading
facility, an alternative trading system, an exchange market maker,
an OTC market maker, or any other broker or dealer that executes
orders internally by trading as principal or crossing orders as
agent.'' See 17 CFR 242.600(b).
    \14\ The Plan defines a Market Maker as ``a dealer registered
with any self-regulatory organization, in accordance with the rules
thereof, as (i) a market maker or (ii) a liquidity provider with an
obligation to maintain continuous, two-sided trading interest.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    With respect to Market Makers, Appendix B.III requires a
Participant that is a national securities exchange to collect daily
Market Maker Registration statistics. Appendix B.IV requires a
Participant to collect data related to Market Maker participation with
respect to each Market Maker engaging in trading activity on a Trading
Center operated by the Participant. Appendix C.I requires a Participant
to collect data related to Market Maker profitability from each Market
Maker for which it is the DEA. Appendix C.II requires the Participant,
as DEA, to aggregate the Appendix C.I data, and to transmit this data
to the Commission.
    The Commission approved the Pilot on a two-year basis, with
implementation to begin no later than May 6, 2016.\15\ On November 6,
2015, the SEC exempted the Participants from implementing the pilot
until October 3, 2016.\16\ As set forth in Appendices B and C to the
Plan, data that is reported pursuant to the appendices shall be
provided for dates starting six months prior to the Pilot Period
through six months after the end of the Pilot Period. Under the revised
Pilot implementation date, the Pre-Pilot data collection period
commenced on April 4, 2016.

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

    On March 29, 2016, NYSE Arca filed with the Commission a proposed
rule change to adopt NYSE Arca Rule 7.46(b) to implement the data
collection requirements of the Plan.\17\ On December 9, 2015, NYSE Arca
submitted an exemptive request to the Commission, seeking an exemption
from certain data collection and reporting requirements set forth in
the Plan.\18\ On April 4, 2016, the Commission granted exemptive relief
from complying with certain data collection and reporting requirements
in the Plan.\19\

Transmission of Data Pursuant to Appendices B and C of the
Regulation NMS Plan to Implement a Tick Size Pilot Program) (SR-
NYSEARCA-2016-52).
    NYSE Arca also submitted a proposed rule change to implement the
quoting and trading requirements of the Plan. See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 77947 (May 31, 2016), 81 FR 36361 (June 6,
2016) (Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Implementing
the Quoting and Trading Provisions of the Plan to Implement a Tick

and Corporate Secretary, FINRA, to Robert W. Errett, Deputy
Secretary, Commission, dated December 9, 2015 (``Exemptive
Request'').
    \19\ See letter from John C. Roeser, Associate Director,
Division of Trading and Markets, Commission, to Sherry Sandler,
Associate General Counsel, NYSE Arca, dated April 4, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NYSE Arca now proposes to further amend Rule 7.46 to modify
additional data collection and reporting requirements. First, Appendix
B.I.a(21) through B.I.a(27) currently requires that Trading Centers
report the cumulative number of shares of cancelled orders during a
specified duration of time after receipt of the order that was
cancelled. NYSE Arca and the other Participants believe that, for
purposes of reporting cancelled orders, it is appropriate to categorize
unexecuted Immediate or Cancel orders separately as one bucket
irrespective of the duration of time after order receipt, i.e., without
a time increment, to better differentiate orders cancelled subsequent
to entry from those where the customer's intent prior to order entry
was to cancel the order if no execution could be immediately obtained.
NYSE Arca, therefore, proposes to modify Supplementary Material .30 to
provide that unexecuted Immediate or Cancel orders shall be categorized
separately for purposes of Appendix B.I.a(21) through B.I.a(27).
    The second change relates to the reporting of daily market quality
statistics pursuant to Appendix B.I. Currently, Appendix B.I sets forth
categories of orders, including market orders, marketable limit orders,
and inside-the-quote resting limit orders, for which daily market
quality statistics must be reported. NYSE Arca and the other
Participants have determined that it is appropriate to include an order
type for limit orders priced more than $0.10 away from the NBBO for
purposes of Appendix B reporting. NYSE Arca therefore proposes to amend
Supplementary Material .50 to provide that limit orders priced more
than $0.10 away from the NBBO shall be included as an order type for
purposes of Appendix B reporting, and shall be assigned the number
(22). These orders are not currently required to be reported pursuant
to Appendix B, and NYSE Arca and the other Participants believe that
requiring the reporting of such orders will produce a more
comprehensive data set.
    The third change relates to the reporting of market quality
statistics pursuant to Appendix B.I for a variety of order types,
including inside-the-quote resting limit orders (12), at-the-quote
resting limit orders (13), and near-the-quote resting limit orders
(within $0.10 of the NBBO) (14). NYSE Arca and the other Participants
believe that it is appropriate to require Trading Centers to report all
orders that fall within these categories, and not just those orders
that are ``resting.'' NYSE Arca, therefore, proposes to amend
Supplementary Material .50 to make this change.
    In the fourth change, NYSE Arca proposes to add new Supplementary
Material .100 to modify the manner in which market maker participation
statistics are calculated. Currently, Appendix B.IV provides that
market maker participation statistics shall be calculated based on
share participation, trade participation, cross-quote share (trade)
participation, inside-the-quote

share (trade) participation, at-the-quote share (trade) participation,
and outside-the-quote share (trade) participation. NYSE Arca and the
other Participants have determined that it is appropriate to add the
count of the number of Market Makers used in the calculation of share
(trade) participation to each category. NYSE Arca is therefore
proposing this change as part of Supplementary Material .100. In
addition, Appendix B.IV(b) and (c) currently require that, when
aggregating across Market Makers, share participation and trade
participation shall be calculated using the share-weighted average and
trade-weighted average, respectively. NYSE Arca and the other
Participants believe that it is more appropriate to calculate share and
trade participation by providing the total count of shares or trades,
as applicable, rather than weighted averages, and NYSE Arca is
therefore proposing this change as part of Supplementary Material .100.
    The fifth change relates to the NBBO that a Trading Center is
required to use when performing certain quote-related calculations.
When calculating cross-quote share (trade) participation pursuant to
Appendix B.IV(d) and inside-the-quote share (trade) participation
pursuant to Appendix B.IV(e), the Plan requires the Trading Center to
utilize the NBBO at the time of the trade for both share and trade
participation calculations. When calculating at-the-quote share (trade)
participation and outside-the-quote share (trade) participation
pursuant to Appendix B.IV(f) and (g), the Plan allows the Trading
Center to utilize the National Best Bid or National Best Offer (NBBO)
at the time of or immediately before the trade for both share and trade
participation calculations. NYSE Arca and the other Participants
believe that it is appropriate to calculate all quote participation
(cross-quote share (trade) participation, inside-the-quote share
(trade) participation, at-the-quote share (trade) participation and
outside-the-quote share (trade) participation) solely by reference to
the NBBO in effect immediately prior to the trade. NYSE Arca therefore
proposes to make this change as part of Supplementary Material .100.
    Finally, NYSE Arca proposes to change the end date until which the
Pre-Pilot Data Collection Securities shall be used to fulfill the
Plan's data collection requirements. Currently, Supplementary Material
.90 provides that Pre-Pilot Data Collection Securities are the
securities designated by the Participants for purposes of the data
collection requirements described in Items I, II and IV of Appendix B
and Item I of Appendix C to the Plan for the period beginning six
months prior to the Pilot Period and ending on the trading day
immediately preceding the Pilot Period. NYSE Arca the other
Participants believe that it is appropriate to use the Pilot Securities
to satisfy the Plan's data collection requirements prior to the
commencement of the Pilot. According, NYSE Arca is revising
Supplementary Material .90 to provide that the Pre-Pilot Data
Collection Securities shall be used to satisfy the Plan's data
collection requirements through thirty-one days prior to the Pilot
Period, after which time the Pilot Securities shall be used for
purposes of the data collection requirements.\20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ After regular trading hours on September 2, 2016, the
national securities exchanges will establish which securities will
be included as Pilot Securities for purposes of the Plan. NYSE Arca
and the other Participants have determined that members should use
the Pilot Securities list for data collection purposes once it
becomes available. Thus, the proposed rule change requires that,
beginning thirty days prior to the first day of the Pilot Period--
i.e., September 3, 2016--NYSE Arca and NYSE Arca ETP Holders will
comply with the data collection obligations of the Plan by
collecting data on the Pilot Securities. As a result, beginning on
September 3, 2016, ETP Holders must migrate from using NYSE Arca's
published Pre-Pilot Data Collection Security list and begin using
the Pilot Securities list. September 2, 2016 will be the last day
that ETP Holders use the Pre-Pilot Data Collection Security list.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As noted in Item 2 of this filing, NYSE Arca has filed the proposed
rule change for immediate effectiveness. NYSE Arca has requested that
the SEC waive the 30-day operative period so that the proposed rule
change can become operative on August 30, 2016.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act \21\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act \22\ in particular, in that it is designed to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation
and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in
securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \22\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NYSE Arca believes that this proposal is consistent with the Act
because it implements and clarifies the provisions of the Plan, and is
designed to assist NYSE Arca in meeting its regulatory obligations
pursuant to the Plan. In approving the Plan, the SEC noted that the
Pilot was an appropriate, data-driven test that was designed to
evaluate the impact of a wider tick size on trading, liquidity, and the
market quality of securities of smaller capitalization companies, and
was therefore in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. NYSE Arca
believes that this proposal is in furtherance of the objectives of the
Plan, as identified by the SEC, and is therefore consistent with the
Act because the proposal implements and clarifies the requirements of
the Plan.

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

    NYSE Arca notes that the proposed rule change implements the
provisions of the Plan, and is designed to assist NYSE Arca in meeting
its regulatory obligations pursuant to the Plan. NYSE Arca also notes
that, other than the change to require use of the Pilot Securities
beginning thirty days prior to the beginning of the Pilot Period, the
proposed changes will only affect how NYSE Arca and Participants that
operate Trading Centers collect and report data. NYSE Arca notes that,
with respect to the change to require the use of the Pilot Securities
beginning thirty days prior to the start of the Pilot Period, the
proposed change reduces the number of securities on which affected ETP
Holders otherwise would have been required to collect data pursuant to
the Plan and NYSE Arca Rule 7.46. In addition, the proposed rule change
applies equally to all similarly situated ETP Holders. Therefore, NYSE
Arca 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.

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

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

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \23\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\24\
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) by its terms, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \24\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \25\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b4(f)(6)(iii),\26\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \26\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that waiving the 30 day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest
because it will allow the Exchange to implement the proposed rules
immediately thereby preventing delays in the implementation of the
Plan. The Commission notes that the Plan is scheduled to start on
October 3, 2016. Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the 30 day
operative delay and designates the proposed rule change to be operative
upon filing with the Commission.\27\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \27\ 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 such 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 under
Section 19(b)(2)(B) \28\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \28\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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
the following methods:

Self-Regulatory Organizations; OneChicago, LLC; Notice of Filing
of a Proposed Rule Change To Update OCX's Rulebook for a Filing
Previously Made With the Commodity Futures Trading Commission

June 30, 2014.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(7) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ notice is hereby given that on June 17, 2014,
OneChicago, LLC (``OneChicago,'' ``OCX,'' or the ``Exchange'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or ``Commission'')
the proposed rule change described in Items I and II below, which Items
have been prepared by the self-regulatory organization. The Commission
is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule
change from interested persons. OneChicago has previously filed the
rule change with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``CFTC'').
OneChicago filed a written certification with the CFTC under Section
5c(c) of

the Commodity Exchange Act (``CEA'') \2\ on September 12, 2012.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 7 U.S.C. 7a-2(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Description of the Proposed Rule
Change

    OneChicago is proposing to file with the SEC a Notice to Members
(``NTM'') that the Exchange has previously filed with the CFTC, but did
not file with the SEC. OneChicago is filing the NTM with the SEC
because it relates to sales practices.
    On September 12, 2012, OCX filed NTM 2012-26 with the CFTC
(originally filed as NTM 2012-24 on August 31, 2012, but refiled as NTM
2012-26 to make a technical amendment). NTM 2012-26 updates NTM 2010-13
by separating the issues in NTM 2012-26 (Pre-Execution Discussions and
Cross Trades) from the general block trade issues discussed in NTM
2010-13. NTM 2012-26 provides guidance on two issues related to trading
and sales practices. First, NTM 2012-26 interprets and provides
guidance on OCX Rule 614 with regard to pre-execution discussions.
Second, NTM 2012-26 interprets and provides guidance on OCX Rules 409
and 610 with regard to cross trades.

Pre-Execution Discussions

    OCX Rule 614 prohibits market participants from entering any Order
into the OneChicago System which has been pre-arranged, except as
expressly permitted by Rules 416 and 417 or in accordance with any
policies or procedures for pre-execution discussions from time to time
adopted by the Exchange. NTM 2012-26 establishes such a pre-execution
discussion policy. Specifically, NTM 2012-26 permits market
participants to engage in pre-execution discussions pursuant to which
one party may agree in advance to take the opposite side of the other
party's Order for a transaction to be executed on the Exchange.
    NTM 2012-26 then lays out three conditions which, if applicable,
must be met in order for a pre-execution discussion to comply with the
NTM. First, customers of each party engaging in a pre-execution
discussion must consent to allow pre-execution discussions with other
market participants. Second, any market participant who is solicited to
participate in an OCX transaction through pre-execution discussions
shall not (i) disclose to any other party the details of such
discussions, or (ii) enter an order or quote through the Exchange to
take advantage of information conveyed during such discussions.
Finally, for any non-bilateral trade conducted on the Exchange pursuant
to a pre-execution discussion, a period of four seconds must elapse
between entering the first order or quote and entering the second order
for the opposite side.

Cross Trades

    OCX Rule 409 states that the Exchange may from time to time adopt
procedures to facilitate the crossing of Orders through the OneChicago
System. OCX Rule 610 lays out the requirements for market participants
executing customers' orders, and more specifically, explains that
customers' orders are treated with higher priority than proprietary
orders.
    NTM 2012-26 expands upon OCX Rules 409 and 610 and permits the
crossing of Orders so long as one side of the trade is entered into the
OneChicago System at least four seconds before the opposite side. In
addition, if the market participant crossing the Orders is taking the
opposite side of a customer Order, that market participant must enter
the customer's side of the trade into the OneChicago System first.
    The NTM then goes on to add that market participants shall not be
in violation of either OCX Rule 409 or OCX Rule 610 if no Person on
whose behalf the orders are being crossed has knowledge of the other
side's Order and there is no coordination or prearrangement of the
cross trade. In such a circumstance, both sides of the trade are
responsible for demonstrating to OCX staff that neither side had
knowledge of the other's Order.
    The NTM is attached as Exhibit 4 to the filing submitted by the
Exchange, but is not attached to the published notice of the filing.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, OneChicago 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 self-regulatory organization 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 purpose of OneChicago's filing is to update the OCX Rulebook to
account for a filing OneChicago has previously made with the CFTC, but
has not made concurrently with the SEC. Specifically, the purpose of
the NTM is to clarify the obligations of market participants regarding
pre-execution discussions and cross trades, and to require that certain
conditions are met in order to engage in pre-execution discussions or
cross trades.
    The purpose of the pre-execution discussion section in NTM 2012-26
is to explain to market participants how a pre-execution discussion may
be effected within the bounds of OCX Rule 614. The NTM lays out three
conditions that must be met in order to engage in a pre-execution
discussion. These three conditions have been imposed for two purposes:
(1) To protect customers, and (2) to preserve the integrity of OCX's
markets. Regarding customer protection, market participants engaging in
pre-execution discussions on behalf of customers must receive consent
from their customers to engage in such discussions. This requirement
ensures that customers are aware of the method by which their Orders
are being executed. With regard to preserving the integrity of OCX's
markets, market participants are prohibited from entering any Order on
the basis of information gained through a pre-execution discussion.
This prohibition preserves market integrity by ensuring that market
participants are not trading on the basis of non-public information
that is not freely available.
    The purpose of the cross trade section in NTM 2012-26 is to explain
to market participants how a cross trade may be effected within the
bounds of OCX Rule 409 and 610. The NTM preserves market integrity be
requiring cross trades to be exposed to market risk for a period of at
least four seconds. This delay ensures that the trade to be crossed has
the chance to execute competitively with other market participants.
Additionally, the four second delay rule requires market participants
to enter the customer side of the trade (if the market participant is
taking the opposite side of a customer order) first, allowing the
customer to be executed against a third party market participant. This
requirement ensures that customers receive fair and reasonable prices
for their trades.

2. Statutory Basis
    OneChicago believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act,\3\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\4\ in particular in that it
is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices,
to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating
transactions in securities, and to remove impediments to and perfect
the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system,
and in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78(f)(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NTM 2012-26 promotes just and equitable principles of trade and
fosters cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in
facilitating transactions in securities by explaining the method by
which these market participants may engage in two distinct trading
practices that are permitted by the Exchange. The NTM sets forth
requirements for market participants effecting pre-execution
discussions and cross trades. The Exchange also believes that the rule
change benefits investors and market participants because it enhances
customer protection and helps preserve the integrity of OCX's market.

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

    OneChicago does not believe that the rule change will impose any
burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act. The Exchange believes that the proposed rule
change is equitable and promotes the principles of trade because it is
designed to prevent manipulative acts and protect investors.
Additionally, all of the conditions to engage in pre-execution
discussions and cross trades apply equally to all market participants
and are not enforced in a discriminatory manner.

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

    Comments on the OneChicago proposed rule change have not been
solicited and none have been received.

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

    OneChicago filed the proposed rule change with the CFTC on
September 12, 2012. OneChicago did not file the proposed rule change
concurrently with the SEC. Instead, OneChicago filed the proposed rule
change on June 17, 2014.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Section 19(b)(7)(B) of the Act provides that a proposed rule
change filed with the SEC pursuant to section 19(b)(7)(A) of the Act
shall be filed concurrently with the CFTC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the date of effectiveness \6\ of the
proposed rule change, the Commission, after consultation with the CFTC,
may summarily abrogate the proposed rule change and require that the
proposed rule change be refiled in accordance with the provisions of
Section 19(b)(1) of the Act.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Section 19(b)(7)(C) of the Act provides, inter alia, that
``[a]ny proposed rule change of a self-regulatory organization that
has taken effect pursuant to [Section 19(b)(7)(B) of the Act] may be
enforced by such self-regulatory organization to the extent such
rule is not inconsistent with the provisions of this title, the
rules and regulations thereunder, and applicable Federal law.''
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

MEMORANDUM  SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1

TO:		Melanie King, EPA OAQPS/SPPD/ESG

FROM:	Bradley Nelson, EC/R, Inc.

DATE:		August 31, 2009

SUBJECT:	Summary of the August 18, 2009 Meeting in Research Triangle
Park, NC with Exterran and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to
discuss the Proposed NESHAP for Existing Stationary RICE

1.0	INTRODUCTION

Exterran requested this meeting with EPA to discuss their comments on
the proposed national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants
(NESHAP) for existing stationary reciprocating internal combustion
engines (RICE).  Also at this meeting were representatives from
Compressor Systems Inc. and J-W Power Company, and their legal counsel
from the law firm of Bracewell & Giuliani.  Exterran, J-W Power, and
Compressor Systems, Inc. are the three largest operators of contract
compression to the U.S. oil and gas industry.  The companies estimate
that contract compression comprises approximately one-third of the
compression in the oil and gas industry.  This meeting summary will be
available in the docket for this rulemaking (Docket ID No.
EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0708).  The proposed NESHAP for existing stationary RICE
was published in the Federal Register on March 5, 2009 (74 FR 9698).

3.0	SUMMARY OF MEETING

The companies provided an agenda summarizing the issues that they wanted
to discuss with EPA.  A copy of the agenda is included in Attachment 1
of these meeting minutes.  Jeff Holmstead began the meeting by stating
that the companies represent small (<500 horsepower (HP)) natural gas
fired engines located mostly at rural locations.

The first topic of discussion was the subcategorization of engines
located in rural areas.  The industry representatives asked if EPA was
considering using the urban and rural guidelines that were used for the
Oil & Gas Production NESHAP.  EPA responded that it is looking at the
issue, but that no final decisions had been made.

The industry group asked what management practices are being are being
considered for the final rule for engines less than 500 HP at area
sources.  EPA stated it was looking at management practices that were
provided in the comments, and asked industry which management practices
reduce emissions from the engines.  The industry group responded that
the companies already have an operator defined management program used
to prolong the life of the engine.  These practices include: monitoring
of the spark plugs and changing of the oil.  Industry stated that many
of the facilities test the oil to make sure the oil properties are
sufficient for lubrication of the engine.  Industry also stated that
replacement of the oxygen sensor could also be used as a management
practice.  EPA agreed that these management practices are viable
options, but stated that the management practices must have objective
criteria that can be measured.  Industry responded that there are a lot
of variations in the type of engines and the operations associated with
each engines so it is difficult to propose objective criteria.  Industry
stated that the management programs should be operator defined.
Industry asked if oil sweetening would be allowed in the final rule.
EPA responded that the facility can petition for alternative compliance
to the permitting authority by providing technical justification for oil
sweetening.  EPA asked that industry provide recommendations for
management practices by October.

The next issue that was discussed was startup, shutdown, and malfunction
(SSM).  Industry estimated that their engines have 3-4 shutdowns per
month, and engines typically take approximately 15 minutes to heat up to
temperature during startup.  However, some engines in cold areas may
take up to 45 minutes for startup.  To address the SSM issue, industry
suggested using the de minimis language from the Alabama Power court
decision for natural gas RICE less than 500 HP.  Other options suggested
for SSM include: accounting for SSM emissions in the floor calculations;
subcategorizing the SSM events and establishing separate limits; or work
practices.  Industry suggested that EPA could address the SSM issue by
setting a not-to-exceed limit for SSM events for each month, or set a
pound per hour limit for SSM events.  EPA responded that no additional
test information was received for these engines during the comment
period.

The next issue that was discussed was the test protocol letter that was
sent to EPA by Bracewell & Giuliani that outlines the proposed
collection of emissions test data for natural gas-fired engines less
than 500 HP to support the RICE NESHAP (See Attachment 2).  Industry
stated that they had three options:

Option 1 - provide as much test data as possible before October;

Option 2 - request and receive an extension of the rule and collect
additional data; or

Option 3 - collect no data and challenge the final rule.

Industry wants to ensure that if they choose Option 1 that the collected
test data will be used by EPA to establish new limits.  EPA responded
that any data received in October would be included in the MACT floor
analysis for the engines.  Industry asked if the emission data should be
provided in grams per brake horsepower-hour at full load.  EPA stated
that the tests should consider variability and provide data that is
achieved in practice.

Industry stated that most of the 2-stroke lean burn engines less than
500 HP are Ajax engines and that these engines do not produce enough
heat to allow an oxidation catalyst to operate effectively.  Industry
stated that they currently have 14 engines that use a catalyst, but the
use of a catalyst increases nitrogen oxides emissions.
