became available at https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-bx-2020-032/srbx2020032-8359799-229182.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change

    Currently, under the Short Term Options Series (``STOS'') program
(also referred to as the ``weekly series'' or ``weeklies''), BX may
open for trading on a Thursday or Friday (``Short Term Option Opening
Date'') a series of options that expires on each of the next five
Fridays that are business days and are not Fridays in which monthly
options series or Quarterly Options series expire (``Short Term Option
Expiration Dates'').\7\ Weeklies currently may have strike price
intervals of $0.50, $1, or $2.50.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Supplementary Material .03 of Options 4, Section 5.
There are limits on the number of series that can participate in
STOS (i.e., 30 initial series and up to 50 currently listed
classes). See Supplementary Material .03 of Options 4, Section 5(c).
In addition to the weeklies, the Exchange may list series of options
for trading with monthly expirations (that expire on the third
Friday of the month) or quarterly expirations. See Options 4,
Section 5(g) and Supplementary Material .04 of Options 4, Section 5,
respectively. Exchange rules set forth the intervals between strike
prices of series of options on individual stocks, which generally
are $2.50, $5, and $10. In addition to those intervals, the Exchange
may list certain series of options in finer increments, including,
e.g., pursuant to the $1 Strike Price Interval Program
(Supplementary Material .01 of Options 4, Section 5) and the $0.50
Strike Program (Supplementary Material .05 of Options 4, Section 5).
    \8\ Specifically, (i) $0.50 or greater where the strike price is
less than $100, and $1 or greater where the strike price is between
$100 and $150 for all option classes that participate in the Short
Term Options Series Program; (ii) $0.50 for option classes that
trade in one dollar increments and are in the Short Term Options
Series Program; or (iii) $2.50 or greater where the strike price is
above $150. See Amendment No. 1, supra note 6, at 34.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, the
Exchange proposes to amend its STOS Program to increase, and thereby
limit, the intervals between strikes in multiply listed equity options
(excluding options on Exchange Traded Funds (``ETFs'') and Exchange
Traded Notes (``ETNs'')) under the STOS program for those weeklies that
have an expiration date more than twenty-one days from the listing
date.\9\ Accordingly, the proposal seeks to reduce the number of
strikes in the weeklies furthest from expiration.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The proposal does not apply to index options.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Specifically, the new applicable strike intervals will be as
follows: \10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The table supersedes Supplementary Material .03(d), which
currently permits additional series to be opened for trading on the
Exchange when the Exchange deems it necessary to maintain an orderly
market, to meet customer demand, or when the market price of the
underlying security moves substantially from the exercise price or
prices of the series already opened. As a result, the Exchange will
not be able to utilize the rule text within Supplementary Material
.03(d) to permit additional series to be opened for trading on BX
that have an expiration date more than twenty-one days from the
listing date despite the noted circumstances when such additional
series could otherwise be added.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Underlying share price
                                         Customer-range options average  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 Tier                             daily volume                              $25 to less     $75 to less    $150 to less       $500 or
                                                                           Less than $25     than $75        than $150       than $500        greater
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.....................................  greater than 5,000..............           $0.50           $1.00           $1.00           $5.00           $5.00
2.....................................  1,000 to 5,000..................            1.00            1.00            1.00            5.00           10.00
3.....................................  0 to 1,000......................            2.50            5.00            5.00            5.00           10.00
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As shown in the table, the proposal sets the strike increment for
those weekly series with an expiration date of more than twenty-one
days from the listing date (e.g., weeks 4 and 5) through a matrix of 15
possible choices representing 5 different strike intervals (i.e.,
$0.50, $1, $2.50, $5, or $10). The Exchange will determine the
applicable strike interval through a combination of two factors: (1)
The Customer-cleared average daily volume (``ADV'') tier for the option
over the applicable quarter \11\ and (2) the closing share price of the
underlying stock on its primary market on the last day of the calendar
quarter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ The Customer-cleared ADV is the total number of options
contracts traded in the Customer range in a given security for the
applicable calendar quarter, divided by the number of trading days
in the applicable calendar quarter. Beginning on the second trading
day of each calendar quarter, the ADV will be calculated by using
data from the prior calendar quarter based on volume cleared in the
Customer range as reported by the Options Clearing Corporation
(``OCC'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange states that STOS comprise a significant portion of
listed options, as the weekly strikes increased at a 8.9% compound
annual growth rate (``CAGR'') from 2015 to 2020, compared to a 4.3%
CAGR for standard expirations using 3rd Friday expirations. Weeklies
are available on 16% of underlying products, and weeklies with an
expiration date greater than twenty-one days from the listing date
account for 7.5% of the total number of strikes in the options market,
equaling approximately 81,000 strikes.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Amendment No. 1, supra note 6, at 42.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In its filing, the Exchange explains that it chose to use OCC
Customer-cleared volume because the Exchange believes it represents a
measure of customer demand, including for the weekly series.\13\ Under
the proposal, higher customer demand results in a tier that corresponds
to a more granular strike interval (e.g., $0.50 instead of $2.50).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See id. at 22.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange further explains that its proposal seeks to reduce the
number of strikes in the furthest weekly options series, which the
Exchange believes typically have wider markets and lower market
quality.\14\ The Exchange's proposal imposes more distanced strike
intervals where the underlying stock has higher priced shares and where
there is less customer volume as measured by the ADV tiers. Conversely,
the proposal preserves finer strike intervals for options that have
higher Customer ADV and lower priced underlying stocks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See id. at 40-41, for the Exchange's data on average
spreads in weekly options during the month of August 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    BX also proposes to make publically and freely available a report
on a quarterly basis that indicates, for each weekly series eligible to
be listed under proposed Supplementary Material .07 of Options 4,
Section 5, the applicable strike increment, the applicable closing
price of the underlying stock sourced from the closing prices for Tape
A, B and C securities published by the UTP and CTA/CQ Plans, and the
applicable Customer ADV of the option sourced from OCC. BX will post
the report by the close of business on the first trading day of the
quarter.
    The Exchange intends that its proposal will allow market makers to
deploy capital more efficiently, while improving displayed market
quality, by tailoring the granularity of strikes to correspond to the
anticipated future customer demand for the option and the price of the
underlying stock, thus reducing the number of listed weekly options in
the later weeks of the STOS program.\15\ The Exchange states that its
proposal is responsive to concerns from industry members, including
market makers, regarding the proliferation of strike prices.\16\ The
Exchange expects that its proposal will be the first step in a broader
initiative to revisit the patchwork of strike listing rules.\17\

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    After careful review of the proposed rule change, as modified by
Amendment No. 1, and the comment letters received on the proposal, the
Commission finds that the proposed rule change, as modified by
Amendment No. 1, is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder applicable to national securities
exchanges.\18\ In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed
rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, is consistent with Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\19\ which requires that the rules of an exchange be
designed, among other things, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \19\ 17 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission received several comments expressing support for the
proposed rule change.\20\ Another commenter expressed general support
for the goals of the proposal but suggested ideas to simplify and
clarify the proposal.\21\ In particular, that commenter recommends that
the proposal be ``simplified in its application'' because it believes
the ADV and underlying share price components could be ``unduly
burdensome from an exchange operational perspective.'' \22\ The
commenter states that the proposal could ``create significant
operational overhead with respect to implementing and maintaining this
proposed strike listing regime'' but would only ``result in a limited
strike reduction''.\23\ Further, the commenter states that the
proposal's ``complexity may also cause confusion among participants
regarding permissible strikes.'' \24\ As an alternative, the commenter
suggests ``use of a single ADV component for classes to qualify for the
STOS program'' such as 2,500 ADV.\25\

    In response, the Exchange states that its proposal ``was not
intended to amend the current STOS program'' but rather was to
``curtail certain strike intervals within STOS to avoid operational
burdens to listing exchanges.'' \26\ The Exchange believes that the
commenter's suggested alternative ``may have a detrimental impact on of
meeting customer demand in terms of the availability of STOS which are
listed today.'' \27\ The Commission believes the Exchange has

addressed the commenter's concern. The Exchange's proposal, though
modest in scope, is an attempt to rationalize strike listing rules in
the furthest-out weekly series, which may serve as a starting point to
a broader initiative to revisit, harmonize, and update the panoply of
strike listing rules more broadly. The Exchange's proposal is but one
of many possible alternative approaches that could address the same or
similar goals. Nevertheless, the Exchange's proposal reflects its
preferred approach, which the Commission finds is consistent with the
Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \26\ See Letter to Vanessa Countryman, Secretary, Commission,

Nasdaq, Inc., dated February 10, 2021 (``BX Response''), at 1.

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

    The commenter also suggested certain aspects of the proposal that
could be further clarified, including ``whether exceptions would apply
to extremely active option classes or new options on equities that were
subject to recent initial public offerings'' as such events ``often
increase customer demand for more strikes, including at narrower
intervals.'' \28\ The commenter also suggested that the proposal be
flexible to allow more granular strikes when ``necessary to maintain an
orderly market, to meet customer demand, or when the market price of
the underlying security moves substantially.'' \29\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \28\ Cboe Letter, supra note 21, at 3.
    \29\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In response, the Exchange proposed text in Amendment No. 1 to
address the initial public offering situation by adding a 3-month
curtailment period by which the new rule would not take effect for such
options until after the end of the first full calendar quarter
following the date the options class was first listed on any options
market.\30\ The Exchange states that the curtailment period will
``allow the initial customer demand to be met'' and ``price discovery
to occur in the offering'' before the new strike intervals would apply
in the further out weeklies.\31\ Further, the Exchange added text in
Amendment No. 1 to clarify that the proposal would not accommodate
flexibility to add more granular strikes for stocks with volatile
prices or in response to customer requests.\32\ The Commission believes
the Exchange has addressed the commenter's concerns. While the Exchange
will not permit exceptions to its new rule, weeklies in the first few
weeks are not impacted by the rule change, so the Exchange will
continue to be able to list more granular strikes in those weeks as
appropriate to meet customer demand in active classes or classes with
volatile underlying stock prices.

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

    Finally, the commenter states that ``exchanges should use quarterly
ADV data from a centralized party when identifying classes subject to
the strike interval limits to ensure fair and consistent application of
the rule across the industry.'' \33\ In response, the Exchange added
detail in Amendment No. 1 to describe the report it will prepare and
publicly post that details the applicable tier, Customer ADV, and
closing price for each affected weekly series. The Exchange stated that
the public availability of this report should ``provide consistency and
relieve administrative burdens on other options markets'' who ``may
elect to utilize [it] to validate their own information.'' \34\ The
Commission believes the Exchange has addressed the commenter's
concerns. The Exchange will use OCC data to calculate the Customer ADV,
which is available to all options exchanges, and will use the publicly-
reported consolidated market data to determine the underlying share
price, which also is available to all. Publishing each series subject
to the new rule with its applicable strike increment, along with the
inputs used to determine those increments, will promote transparency
and certainty among all market participants of the application and
effect of the Exchange's rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \33\ Cboe Letter, supra note 21, at 3.
    \34\ BX Response, supra note 26, at 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that the Exchange's proposal, as amended,
promotes just and equitable principles of trade, fosters cooperation
and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in
securities, and removes impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system. Specifically, the
Commission believes that the Exchange's proposal to increase, and thus
limit, the intervals between strikes listed under the STOS program that
have an expiration date more than twenty-one days removes impediments
to and perfects the mechanism of a free and open market and a national
market system by seeking to strike an efficient balance between
offering customers choice of appropriately granular strikes in less
liquid weekly options with higher underlying stock prices and setting
rational and consistent strike intervals that do not unduly burden the
market makers that quote them, the broker-dealers and customers that
view and trade them, or the infrastructure and systems that handle the
transmission, processing, and dissemination of quotations, orders, and
trades.
    More efficient and better calibrated strike increment rules can
have a positive impact on the options markets, as it can provide
certainty, minimize confusion, and promote more efficient use of
resources including among market makers that are obligated to
continuously quote such series, all while still offering customers
choice to meet their investment needs. The Exchange's proposal should
eliminate certain clusters of relatively granular strikes in further
out weekly series, whose characteristics (e.g., risk properties) may
closely resemble each other as a result of their close strike prices
and length to time to expiration. Such clustering may not be necessary
in less liquid further out weekly series where the price of the
underlying stock is higher. The Exchange's proposal seeks to focus more
granular strike increments on those series where they are more
relevant, applicable, and likely more in demand from customers.
Accordingly, the Exchange's proposal is designed to protect investors
while also supporting market quality. For these reasons, the Commission
finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act.

IV. Solicitation of Comments on Amendment No. 1 to the Proposed Rule
Change

V. Accelerated Approval of Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by
Amendment No. 1

    The Commission finds good cause to approve the proposed rule
change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, prior to the thirtieth day
after the date of publication of Amendment No. 1 in the Federal
Register. In Amendment No. 1, the Exchange provided additional
information to clarify and support the proposal, and did not materially
change the substance of the proposal over what the Commission published
in the Federal Register. Among other things, in the Amendment the
Exchange committed to freely and publicly post a ``report'' in which it
will detail the weekly series that it will list under the proposal,
along with information on the applicable strike interval tier and the
underlying Customer ADV and underlying share price values upon which it
determined the applicable strike interval. That information should be
useful to market participants, as well as other options exchanges, as
it will provide transparency into how BX applied its rule and should
remove any potential for confusion that could be presented by a lack of
transparency into the applicable strike intervals BX will apply under
the new rule. Further, the Exchange added detail to address when the
new rule will apply to a new option (e.g., an option on a recent
initial public offering), which will provide certainty as to how the
new rule applies in such cases. Accordingly, the Commission finds good
cause, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\35\ to approve the
proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, on an accelerated
basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \35\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

VI. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\36\ that the proposed rule change SR-BX-2020-032, as modified by
Amendment No. 1 be, and hereby is, approved.

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2021-0850; Airspace Docket No. 21-ANM-26]
RIN 2120-AA66

Modification of Class E Airspace; Northeast Wyoming Regional
Airport, Gillette, WY

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies the Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface at Northeast Wyoming Regional Airport,
Gillette, WY. This action supports the safety and management of
instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport.

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, January 25, 2024. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order JO 7400.11
and publication of conforming amendments.

ADDRESSES: A copy of the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), all
comments received, this final rule, and all background material may be
viewed online at www.regulations.gov using the FAA Docket number.
Electronic retrieval help and guidelines are available on the website.
It is available 24 hours each day, 365 days each year.

Administration, Western Service Center, Operations Support Group, 2200
S. 216th Street, Des Moines, WA 98198; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it modifies Class E airspace to support IFR operations at
Northeast Wyoming Regional Airport, Gillette, WY.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA-2021-0850 in the Federal Register (88 FR 38412; June 13, 2023)
proposing to modify Class E airspace at Northeast Wyoming Regional
Airport, Gillette, WY. Interested parties were invited to participate
in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the
proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.

Differences From the NPRM

    Subsequent to the publication of the NPRM, the FAA modified the
Class E5 Airspace legal description for Northeast Wyoming Regional
Airport, Gillette, WY, to simplify and shorten the description. The
phrase ``and that airspace'' was removed from the description, and the
phrase ``that airspace'' was replaced with the word ``within.'' Those
changes are reflected in this final rule.

Incorporation by Reference

    Class E5 airspace areas are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This
document amends the current version of that order, FAA Order JO
7400.11H, dated August 11, 2023, and effective September 15, 2023. FAA
Order JO 7400.11H is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES
section of this document. These amendments will be published in the
next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11H lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting points.

The Rule

    This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by modifying the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Northeast Wyoming
Regional Airport, Gillette, WY.
    The Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface is modified to include a 5-mile radius of the airport. This
area accommodates arriving IFR operations below 1,500 feet above the
surface and departing IFR operations until they reach 1,200 feet above
the surface.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified
that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. This airspace action is not expected
to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).

The Amendment

    In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation
Administration amends 14 CFR part 71 as follows:

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

    The Exchange filed a proposal to make several non-substantive
changes to the fee schedule applicable to Members \5\ and non-members
of the Exchange pursuant to Exchange Rules 15.1(a) and (c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ A Member is defined as ``any registered broker or dealer
that has been admitted to membership in the Exchange.'' See Exchange
Rule 1.5(n).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
Web site at www.batstrading.com, at the principal office of the
Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to make certain clarifying and non-
substantive changes to its fee schedule in order to improve formatting,
eliminate certain redundancies, increase overall readability, and
provide users with straightforward descriptions to augment overall
comprehensibility and usability of the existing fee schedule. The
Exchange notes that these changes are purely clerical and do not
substantively amend any fee or rebate, nor do they alter the manner in
which the Exchange assesses fees or calculates rebates. The proposed
changes are simply intended to provide greater transparency to market
participants regarding how the Exchange assesses fees and calculates

rebates. Specifically, the Exchange proposes to:
     Capitalize the title of the column setting forth each
tier's rate under footnotes 1 and 3;
     amend the title of the column setting forth each tier's
rate under footnote2 to simply state ``Fee Per Share to Add.'' The fee
offered under footnote 2's Midpoint Peg Tier is available to orders
that yield fee code MM. Fee code MM is appended to non-displayed orders
that add liquidity using the Mid-Point Peg order type.\6\ In renaming
this column, the Exchange propose to remove reference to Mid-Point Peg
orders as such language is redundant and set forth in the tier's title
and list of its applicable fee code;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Exchange Rule 11.9(c)(9).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     amend the name under first column of the tiers listed
under footnote 1 to simply state ``Tier 1'', Tier 2'' and ``Tier 3'' as
the deleted language is redundant with the respective tier's title or
with the description of the tier's criteria;
     replace the phrase ``equal to or greater than'' with
``>='' in all required criteria cells under footnotes 1, 2, and 3;
     amend the description of the required criteria under the
third column of the tiers to begin with ``Member has an'' where
applicable. Amending this description is intended to harmonize the
description of the tier's criteria with fee schedules of its affiliate
exchanges; \7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The Exchange's affiliates are Bats BZX Exchange, Inc., Bats
EDGA Exchange, Inc. and Bats BZX Exchange, Inc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     delete a reference to the ROOC routing strategy, which was
previously, removed from the Exchange's rulebook.\8\ The Exchange
previously submitted a proposed rule change for immediate effectiveness
to discontinue the ROOC routing strategy and to remove references to
the ROOC routing strategy from its rulebook. The Exchange now proposes
to delete fee code RN and its rebate, which is appended to orders
routed to the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC using the ROOC routing strategy
and add liquidity. The Exchange notes since ceasing to offer the ROOC
routing option, orders routed to Nasdaq and that add liquidity yield
feed code A and receive a rebate of $0.0015 per share, which is the
same rebate that was provided under fee code RN.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release N. 75547 (July 29,
2015), 80 FR 46369 (August 4, 2015) (SR-BYX-2015-33). See also BATS
EDGA Exchange and BYX Exchange Decommissioning ROOC Effective August
10, 2015, available at http://cdn.batstrading.com/resources/release_notes/2015/BATS-EDGA-Exchange-and-BYX-Exchange-Decommissioning-ROOC-Effective-August-10-2015.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder that are applicable to a national securities exchange, and,
in particular, with the requirements of Section 6 of the Act.\9\
Specifically, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with Sections 6(b)(4) of the Act of the Act [sic],\10\ in
that it provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees
and other charges among members and other persons using any facility or
system which the Exchange operates or controls. The Exchange believes
that the proposed changes are reasonable and equitable because they are
intended to simplify the Exchange's fee schedule and provide greater
transparency to market participants regarding how the Exchange assesses
fees and calculates rebates. The Exchange notes that these changes are
purely clerical and do not substantively amend any fee or rebate, nor
do they alter the manner in which the Exchange assesses fees or
calculates rebates. The Exchange also believes that the proposal is
non-discriminatory because it applies uniformly to all Members.
Finally, the Exchange believes that the proposed changes will make the
fee schedule clearer and eliminate potential investor confusion,
thereby removing impediments to and perfecting the mechanism of a free
and open market and a national market system, and, in general,
protecting investors and the public interest.

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

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended. To
the contrary, the Exchange believes that the [sic] will not impose any
burden on competition as the changes are purely clerical and do not
amend and [sic] fee or rebate.

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

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any written comments from members or other interested parties.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \11\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4
thereunder.\12\ At any time within 60 days of the filing of the
proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend
such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is
necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of
investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

    Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future
NPRMs should contact the FAA's Office of Rulemaking<PHONE_NUMBER>, to
request a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.

The Proposal

    This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), Part 71 by amending Class E airspace designated as an
extension to a Class D surface area, and Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface, to accommodate new standard
instrument approach procedures at Ardmore Municipal Airport, Ardmore,
OK. Decommissioning of the Arbuckle NDB and cancellation of the NDB
approach at Ardmore Downtown Executive Airport has made it necessary
for airspace reconfiguration for the safety and management of IFR
operations at the airport. Also, this action would update the
geographic coordinates to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical
database.
    Class E airspace areas are published in Paragraphs 6004 and 6005,
respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010 and effective
September 15, 2010, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.
The Class E airspace designations listed in this document would be
published subsequently in the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore, (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 describes
the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would amend controlled airspace at Ardmore Municipal Airport,
Ardmore, OK.
