[Release No. 34-68976; File No. SR-NASDAQ-2013-029]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change
Relating to Routing Fees to C2

February 25, 2013.
    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 February 12, 2013, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (``NASDAQ'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``SEC'' or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I, II, and III, below, which Items have been prepared by NASDAQ.
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

    NASDAQ proposes to amend Chapter XV, entitled ``Options Pricing,''
at Section 2 governing pricing for NASDAQ members using the NASDAQ
Options Market (``NOM''), NASDAQ's facility for executing and routing
standardized equity and index options. Specifically, NOM proposes to
amend its Routing Fees to the C2 Options Exchange, Inc. (``C2'').
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://www.nasdaq.cchwallstreet.com, at the principal
office of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change. 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
    NASDAQ proposes to amend its Routing Fees at Chapter XV, Section
2(3) of the Exchange Rules in order to recoup costs applicable to the
C2 Options Exchange, Inc. (``C2'') that the Exchange incurs for routing
and executing orders in equity options. Today, the Exchange calculates
Routing Fees by assessing certain Exchange costs related to routing
orders to away markets plus the away market's transaction fee. The
Exchange assesses a $0.05 per contract fixed Routing Fee when routing
orders to the NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC (``PHLX'') and NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc.
(``BX Options'') and a $0.11 per contract fixed Routing Fee to all
other options exchanges in addition to the actual transaction fee or
rebate paid by the away market.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Today, the transaction fee assessed by the Exchange is based
on the away market's actual transaction fee or rebate for a
particular market participant at the time that the order was entered
into the Exchange's trading system. This transaction fee is
calculated on an order-by-order basis, since different away markets
charge different amounts. In the event that there is no transaction
fee or rebate assessed by the away market, the only fee assessed is
the fixed Routing Fee. With respect to the rebate, the Exchange pays
a market participant the rebate offered by an away market where
there is such a rebate. Any rebate available is netted against a fee
assessed by the Exchange. The Exchange is not proposing to amend its
calculation of the away market's transaction fee as described
herein.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The fixed Routing Fee is based on costs that are incurred by the
Exchange when routing to an away market in addition to the away
market's transaction fee. For example, the Exchange incurs a fee when
it utilizes Nasdaq Options Services LLC (``NOS''), a member of the
Exchange and the Exchange's exclusive order router.\4\ Each time NOS
routes to away markets NOS incurs a clearing-related cost \5\ and, in
the case of certain exchanges, a transaction fee is also charged in
certain symbols, which fees are passed through to the Exchange. The
Exchange also incurs administrative and technical costs associated with
operating NOS, membership fees at away markets, Options Regulatory Fees
(``ORFs'') and technical costs associated with routing options.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See NASDAQ Rules at Chapter VI, Section 11(e) (Order
Routing).
    \5\ The Options Clearing Corporation (``OCC'') assesses a
clearing fee of $0.01 per contract side. See Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 68025 (October 10, 2012), 77 FR 63398 (October 16, 2012)
(SR-OCC-2012-18).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    C2 recently filed a rule change to amend its transaction fees and
rebates

for simple,\6\ non-complex orders, in equity options classes which
became operative on February 1, 2013.\7\ C2 assesses its transaction
fees based on a formula wherein fees are calculated on a per-contract
basis.\8\ C2 pays rebates based on a formula wherein rebates are
calculated on a per-contract basis.\9\ Because of this recent rule
change, the Exchange proposes to amend C2 Routing Fees to provide
transparency to its market participants.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ C2 defines simple orders to exclude ETFs and indexes.
    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 68792 (January 31,
2013), 78 FR 8621 (February 6, 2013) (SR-C2-2013-004).
    \8\ C2 utilizes the following formula to calculate its
transaction fees: C2 BBO Market Width at time of execution) x
(Market Participant Rate) x 50. The C2 BBO Market Width is the
difference between the quoted best offer and best bid in each class
on C2 (the displayed C2 ask price minus the displayed C2 bid price).
The Market Participant Rates are different rates for different types
of market participants, as follows: Market Participant Rate; C2
Market-Maker 30%; Public Customer (Maker) 40%; all other origins
50%. See C2's Fees Schedule.
    \9\ C2 utilizes the following formula to compute rebates for
simple, non-complex Public Customer orders in all equity options
classes that remove liquidity (i.e. takers): Rebate = (C2 BBO Market
Width at time of execution) x (Order Size Multiplier) x 50. The
order size multiplier is as follows: 1-10 contracts will be 36%; 11-
99 contracts will be 30%; 100-250 contracts will be 20% and 251 plus
contracts is 0%. The maximum rebate is capped at $0.75 per contract.
See C2's Fees Schedule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to amend its non-Customer C2 Routing Fees to
assess the fixed cost of $0.11 per contract plus a flat rate of $0.85
per contract, except with respect to Customers.\10\ With respect to
Customers, the Exchange proposes not to pass the rebate offered by C2,
as is the case today for Routing to C2 and other away markets. The
Exchange proposes to not assess Customers a Routing Fee when routing
orders to C2. This is similar to the manner in which the BATS Exchange,
Inc. (``BATS'') prices Customer orders routed to C2.\11\ The Exchange
proposes to specifically note the amended rates in its rule text in
order to simplify C2 Routing Fees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ Recent pricing changes by C2 will result in a maximum fee
of $0.85 per contract for non-Customer orders executed at C2 and
rebates or free executions for Customer orders executed at C2.
    \11\ See SR-BATS-2013-012 (not yet published).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As with all fees, the Exchange may adjust these Routing Fees in
response to competitive conditions by filing a new proposed rule
change.
2. Statutory Basis
    NASDAQ believes that its proposal to amend its pricing is
consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act \12\ in general, and furthers
the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\13\ in particular, in
that it is an equitable allocation of reasonable fees and other charges
among its Participants.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that its proposal to amend non-Customer C2
Routing Fees from actual transaction charges to a flat rate, in
addition to its fixed cost, is reasonable because the current C2
Routing Fees are not transparent. The Exchange believes that assessing
a flat rate in addition to the fixed cost assessed by the Exchange will
provide market participants certainty with respect to C2 Routing Fees.
Further, each destination market's transaction charge varies and there
is a cost incurred by the Exchange when routing orders to away markets.
The costs to the Exchange include clearing costs, administrative and
technical costs associated with operating NOS, membership fees at away
markets, ORFs and technical costs associated with routing options. The
Exchange believes that the proposed non-Customer C2 Routing Fees will
enable the Exchange to recover the costs it incurs to route orders to
C2 in addition to the flat fee to recoup transaction costs.
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to amend the non-Customer
C2 Routing Fees from actual transaction charges to a flat rate, in
addition to its fixed cost, is equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory because the Exchange would uniformly assess the same C2
Routing Fees to all non-Customer market participants. Under its flat
fee structure, taking all costs to the Exchange into account, the
Exchange may operate at a slight gain or a slight loss for orders
routed to and executed at C2. The Exchange believes that its proposed
Routing Fees for routing non-Customer orders to C2 are reasonable
because they are an approximation of the maximum fees the Exchange will
be charged for such executions, including costs. As a general matter,
the Exchange believes that the proposed fees will allow it to recoup
and cover its costs of providing routing services to C2.
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to not pay a rebate to
Customers and assess no Customer Routing Fee is reasonable, equitable
and not unfairly discriminatory. The Exchange believes that the pricing
structure is reasonable because, although not an approximation of the
cost of routing to C2, Customer orders will still receive executions
free of charge, whereas all other non-Customer routed orders routed to
C2 would be assessed a Routing Fee. The Exchange believes that the
proposed pricing for Customer orders is equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory because it would apply uniformly to all Customer
transactions. Participants desiring the rebate offered by C2 can route
orders directly in order to take advantage of the rebate. Market
participants may submit orders to the Exchange as ineligible for
routing or ``DNR'' to avoid Routing Fees.
    Further, the Exchange believes that it is equitable and not
unfairly discriminatory to assess a fixed cost of $0.05 per contract to
route orders to NASDAQ OMX away markets (BX Options and PHLX) because
the cost, in terms of actual cash outlays, to the Exchange to route to
those markets is lower. For example, costs related to routing to BX
Options and PHLX are lower as compared to other away markets because
NOS is utilized by all three exchanges to route orders.\14\ NOS and the
three NASDAQ OMX options markets have a common data center and staff
that are responsible for the day-to-day operations of NOS. Because the
three exchanges are in a common data center, Routing Fees are reduced
because costly expenses related to, for example, telecommunication
lines to obtain connectivity are avoided when routing orders in this
instance. The costs related to connectivity to route orders to other
NASDAQ OMX exchanges are de minimis. When routing orders to non-NASDAQ
OMX exchanges, the Exchange incurs costly connectivity charges related
to telecommunication lines and other related costs when routing orders.
The Exchange believes it is reasonable, equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory to pass along savings realized by leveraging NASDAQ
OMX's infrastructure and scale to market participants when those orders
are routed to BX Options and NOM. It is important to note with respect
to routing to an away market that orders are routed based on price
first.\15\ The Exchange will route orders to away markets where the
Exchange's disseminated bid or offer is inferior to the national best
bid (best offer) (``NBBO'') price.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See Chapter VI, Section 11 of the NASDAQ and BX Options
Rules and Phlx Rule 1080(m)(iii)(A).
    \15\ See NASDAQ Rules at Chapter XII (Options Order Protection
and Locked and Crossed Market Rules).
    \16\ See NASDAQ Rules at Chapter VI, Section 11(e) (Order
Routing).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance

of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange believes that the rule change
would allow the Exchange to recoup its costs when routing orders
designated as available for routing by the market participant to C2.
Participants may choose to mark the order as ineligible for routing to
avoid incurring these fees.\17\ Today, other options exchanges also
assess similar fees to recoup costs incurred by the Exchange to route
orders to away markets. The Exchange routes orders to away markets
where the Exchange's disseminated bid or offer is inferior to the
national best bid (best offer) (``NBBO'') price and based on price
first.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ Id.
    \18\ See supra note 15.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange operates in a highly competitive market, comprised of
eleven exchanges, in which market participants can easily and readily
direct order flow to competing venues if they deem fee levels at a
particular venue to be excessive. Accordingly, the fees that are
assessed by the Exchange must remain competitive with fees charged by
other venues and therefore must continue to be reasonable and equitably
allocated to those Participants that opt to direct orders to the
Exchange rather than competing venues.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

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

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of
Proposed Rule Change To Update Certain Cross-References and Make Non-
Substantive Technical Changes to Certain FINRA Rules

November 16, 2010.
    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 November 10, 2010, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(``FINRA'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC''
or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been prepared by FINRA. FINRA has designated
the proposed rule change as constituting a ``non-controversial'' rule
change under paragraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 under the Act,\3\ which
renders the proposal effective upon receipt of this filing by 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

    FINRA is proposing to update cross-references within certain FINRA
rules to reflect changes adopted in the consolidated FINRA rulebook and
to make non-substantive technical changes to certain FINRA Rules.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on FINRA's Web
site at http://www.finra.org, at the principal office of FINRA 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, FINRA 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. FINRA 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
    FINRA is in the process of developing a new consolidated rulebook
(``Consolidated FINRA Rulebook'').\4\ That process involves FINRA
submitting to the Commission for approval a series of proposed rule
changes over time to adopt rules in the Consolidated FINRA Rulebook.
The phased adoption and implementation of those rules necessitates
periodic amendments to update rule cross-references and other non-
substantive technical changes in the Consolidated FINRA Rulebook.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The current FINRA rulebook consists of (1) FINRA Rules; (2)
NASD Rules; and (3) rules incorporated from NYSE (``Incorporated
NYSE Rules'') (together, the NASD Rules and Incorporated NYSE Rules
are referred to as the ``Transitional Rulebook''). While the NASD
Rules generally apply to all FINRA members, the Incorporated NYSE
Rules apply only to those members of FINRA that are also members of
the NYSE (``Dual Members''). The FINRA Rules apply to all FINRA
members, unless such rules have a more limited application by their
terms. For more information about the rulebook consolidation
process, see Information Notice, March 12, 2008 (Rulebook
Consolidation Process).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change would update rule cross-references to
reflect recent changes adopted in the Consolidated FINRA Rulebook. In
this regard, the proposed rule change would update references in FINRA
Rules 0150 (Application of Rules to Exempted Securities Except
Municipal Securities), 2130 (Approval Procedures for Day-Trading
Accounts), 2140 (Interfering With the Transfer of Customer Accounts in
the Context of Employment Disputes), 2150 (Improper Use of Customers'
Securities or Funds; Prohibition Against Guarantees and Sharing in
Accounts), 2270 (Day-Trading Risk Disclosure Statement), 2360
(Options), 5110 (Corporate Financing Rule--Underwriting Terms and
Arrangements), 5122 (Private Placements of Securities Issued By
Members), 5250 (Payments for Market Making), 6630 (Applicability of
FINRA Rules to Securities Previously Designated as PORTAL Securities),
9217 (Violations Appropriate for Disposition Under Plan Pursuant to SEA
Rule 19d-1(c)(2)), 9610 (Application), and 11574 (Certificate in Name
of Deceased Person, Trustee, etc.) that are needed as the result of
Commission approval of five recent FINRA proposed rule changes.\5\ In
addition, the proposed rule change would amend FINRA Rules 11100 (Scope
of Uniform Practice Code) and 11580 (Transfer of Limited Partnership
Securities), to update cross-references to NASD Rule 2810, which was
renumbered as FINRA Rule 2310.\6\ Finally, the proposed rule change
would make non-substantive technical changes to FINRA Rules 6420
(Definitions), 8313 (Release of Disciplinary Complaints, Decisions and
Other Information), 11560 (Certificate of Company Whose Transfer Books
Are Closed), 11720 (Irregular Delivery--Transfer Refused--Lost or
Stolen Securities), and 11870 (Customer Account Transfer Contracts),
and delete a reference to Rule 11830 (Reserved) to reflect changes in
FINRA style and naming conventions.

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

    FINRA has filed the proposed rule change for immediate
effectiveness. The implementation date for the proposed rule change
will be December 15, 2010, the date on which certain of the previously
approved rule changes will be implemented,\7\ except for proposed rule
changes to FINRA Rule 6630(d)(1) that would eliminate the references to
NASD Rules 2730, 2740 and 2750 and add references to FINRA Rule 5141.
Those proposed changes will be implemented on February 8, 2011, the
date on which the relevant previously approved rule change will be
implemented.\8\

2. Statutory Basis
    FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,\9\ which requires, among
other things, that FINRA rules must be designed to prevent fraudulent
and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest. FINRA believes the proposed rule change will provide
greater clarity to members and the public regarding FINRA's rules.

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

    FINRA 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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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

Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Model 777-200 and -
300 Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain The Boeing Company Model 777-200 and -300 series airplanes.
This proposed AD would require replacing certain single-tabbed bonding
brackets in the airplane empennage with two-tabbed bonding brackets.
This proposed AD would also require, for certain airplanes, installing
new bonding jumpers, and measuring the resistance of the modified
installation to verify resistance is within specified limits. This
proposed AD was prompted by reports of two failures of the single-
tabbed bracket on the rudder. We are proposing this AD to prevent
failure of the bonding jumper bracket, which could result in loss of
lightning protection ground path, which could lead to increased
lightning-induced currents and subsequent damage to composite
structures, hydraulic tubes, and actuator control electronics. In the
event of a lightning strike, loss of lightning ground protection could
result in the loss of control of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by December 19,
2011.

Discussion

    We received reports of two failures of the single-tabbed bracket on
the rudder. The bracket was discolored and melted, the tab was
completely severed and burned, and the bonding jumpers were detached
from the bracket. We also received a report of a similar failure of the
ground clip that connects to the other end of the jumpers to the
vertical stabilizer. Boeing has determined that the root cause of these
failures was a combination of electromagnetic forces on the jumpers and
resistive heating of the bracket and ground clip during lightning
strikes. This condition, if not corrected, could result in loss of
lightning protection ground path, which could lead to increased
lightning-induced currents and could subsequently damage composite
structures, hydraulic tubes, and actuator control electronics. In the
event of a lightning strike, loss of lightning ground protection could
result in loss of control of the airplane.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed Boeing Service Bulletin 777-55A0014, Revision 1, dated
April 1, 2010. This service bulletin describes procedures for replacing
certain single-tabbed bonding brackets in the airplane empennage with
two-tabbed bonding brackets.
    Boeing Service Bulletin 777-55A0014, Revision 1, dated April 1,
2010, specifies prior or concurrent accomplishment of Boeing Service
Bulletin 777-55A0010, Revision 1, dated April 17, 2001, for installing
new bonding jumpers, and measuring the resistance of the modified
installation to verify resistance is within specified limits.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of these same type
designs.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information described previously.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 87 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

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:

ACUTE THERMAL EFFECTS CURVES @ 10% MORTALITY Based on the comparison of LT50 and LT10 curves generated from the McConnell and Blahm ( 1970) and Blahm and McConnell ( 1970) studies, and to be somewhat conservative, LT10 curves were estimated for the other studies by applying a factor of 0.98 to each curve. That is, each LT10 value was estimated to be 98% of the LT50 value calculated from the regression equation. The estimated LT10 curves are presented in Attachment 3.

Based on visual inspection of the LT50 and LT10 curves included in Attachment 1 from these two studies, the slopes were similar. That is, on the log time scale, the differences between the LT50 and LT10 curves were approximately constant. ( There was insufficient information presented in Appendix B of the EPA ( 1977) document to statistically compare the slopes.) Had the differences not appeared constant, the application of a singe adjustment factor would not have been appropriate.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS/ ISSUES The following text summarizes key assumptions used when evaluating the available data and estimating the LT10 curves. Other issues relevant to the use of these data are also identified. The information is presented in bullet form and can be expanded upon at a later date if desired.

·   The most important assumption is that the data provided in EPA ( 1977) were representative of the same species from different locations ( i. e., different stocks). There are many factors to consider with such an assumption: different environmental influences ( water quality, temperature fluctuations), genetic differences, size, life stage, etc. Calculation of Acute Temperature Relationships Appendix C Appendix C  Page 4 ·   As stated above, the regression coefficients reported in EPA ( 1977) were assumed to be correct.

·   The adjustment factor estimated from the McConnell and Blahm ( 1970) and Blahm and McConnell ( 1970) data for sockeye and chinook salmon was assumed to be appropriate to use in estimating LT10 curves for the other salmon and trout species.

·   Effects curves appear to differ for fish tested using a constant acclimation temperature versus a fluctuating one ( see Attachment 1 for cutthroat trout). Can results based on constant acclimation temperatures be applied to fish living in streams with temperatures fluctuating on a daily and seasonal basis?

·   For many of the studies, the test fish were obtained from a hatchery, and sometimes from a limited number of females. While this limited variability in the biological responses to temperature because of the genetics, it also may have limited the representativeness of the results for a wider population of fish of same species.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2011-P-0416]

Determination That TRAVATAN (Travoprost Ophthalmic Solution),
0.004%, Was Not Withdrawn From Sale for Reasons of Safety or
Effectiveness

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that
TRAVATAN (travoprost ophthalmic solution), 0.004%, was not withdrawn
from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness. This determination
will allow FDA to approve abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) for
travoprost ophthalmic solution, 0.004%, if all other legal and
regulatory requirements are met.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Olivia J.E. Morris, Center for Drug
Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New
Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 51, rm. 6260, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, (301)
796-3601.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1984, Congress enacted the Drug Price
Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (Pub. L. 98-417)
(the 1984 amendments), which authorized the approval of duplicate
versions of drug products under an ANDA procedure. ANDA applicants
must, with certain exceptions, show that the drug for which they are
seeking approval contains the same active ingredient in the same
strength and dosage form as the ``listed drug,'' which is a version of
the drug that was previously approved. ANDA applicants do not have to
repeat the extensive clinical testing otherwise necessary to gain
approval of a new drug application (NDA). The only clinical data
required in an ANDA are data to show that the drug that is the subject
of the ANDA is bioequivalent to the listed drug.
    The 1984 amendments include what is now section 505(j)(7) of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355(j)(7)), which
requires FDA to publish a list of all approved drugs. FDA publishes
this list as part of the ``Approved Drug Products With Therapeutic
Equivalence Evaluations,'' which is known generally as the ``Orange
Book.'' Under FDA regulations, drugs are removed from the list if the
Agency withdraws or suspends approval of the drug's NDA or ANDA for
reasons of safety or effectiveness or if FDA determines that the listed
drug was withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness (21
CFR 314.162).
    A person may petition the Agency to determine, or the Agency may
determine on its own initiative, whether a listed drug was withdrawn
from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness. This determination
may be made at any time after the drug has been withdrawn from sale,
but must be made prior to approving an ANDA that refers to the listed
drug (Sec.  314.161 (21 CFR 314.161)). FDA may not approve an ANDA that
does not refer to a listed drug.
    TRAVATAN (travoprost ophthalmic solution), 0.004%, is the subject
of NDA 21-257, held by Alcon Pharmaceuticals, Ltd., and initially
approved on March 16, 2001. TRAVATAN is indicated for the reduction of
elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open angle glaucoma or
ocular hypertension.
    TRAVATAN (travoprost ophthalmic solution), 0.004%, is currently
listed in the ``Discontinued Drug Product List'' section of the Orange
Book.
    Lachman Consultant Services, Inc. submitted a citizen petition
dated May 25, 2011 (Docket No. FDA-2011-P-0416), under 21 CFR 10.30,
requesting that the Agency determine whether TRAVATAN (travoprost
ophthalmic solution), 0.004%, was voluntarily withdrawn or withheld
from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness.
    After considering the citizen petition and reviewing Agency
records, and based on the information we have at this time, FDA has
determined under Sec.  314.161 that TRAVATAN (travoprost ophthalmic
solution), 0.004%, was not withdrawn for reasons of safety or
effectiveness. The petitioner has identified no data or other
information suggesting that TRAVATAN (travoprost ophthalmic solution),
0.004%, was withdrawn for reasons of safety or effectiveness. We have
carefully reviewed our files for records concerning the withdrawal of
TRAVATAN (travoprost ophthalmic solution), 0.004%, from sale. We have
also independently evaluated relevant literature and data for possible
postmarketing adverse events. We have found no information that would
indicate that this product was withdrawn from sale for reasons of
safety or effectiveness.
    Accordingly, the Agency will continue to list TRAVATAN (travoprost
ophthalmic solution), 0.004%, in the ``Discontinued Drug Product List''
section of the Orange Book. The ``Discontinued Drug Product List''
delineates, among other items, drug products that have been
discontinued from marketing for reasons other than safety or
effectiveness. ANDAs that refer to TRAVATAN (travoprost ophthalmic
solution), 0.004%, may be approved by the Agency as long as they meet
all other legal and regulatory requirements for the approval of ANDAs.
If FDA determines that labeling for this drug product should be revised
to meet current standards, the Agency will advise ANDA applicants to
submit such labeling.

    Dated: November 9, 2011.

Acting Assistant Commissioner for Policy.
